Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

PostScriptwith infants without symptoms in the period of 1-14 days post vaccination.CRP among symptomatic children was similar in the period of 1-7 days post vaccination (p=0.81) and marginally higher than asymptomatic infants 8-14 days post vaccination (adjusted mean difference 1.72 mg/L; 95% CI 1.10 to 2.69, p=0.018).Among 2.7% (9/339) infants with CRP of >50 mg/L, none required hospitalisation.Limitations include small samples (particularly 0-14 days prevaccination), selection bias and the range of vaccines.A CRP rise in the 7-day postvaccination period was demonstrated, complementing high-income studies.4 Elsewhere, immunogenic vaccines requiring paracetamol, such as meningococcal B, are associated with significant CRP rise; therefore, a robust CRP immune response is expected.3 In several infants, CRP concentrations were extremely elevated (maximum 148 mg/L, asymptomatic).When restricting to asymptomatic children, the association remained.Infants with bacterial infections have been identified in the week post vaccination, and testing for infections is recommended.8 However, CRP alone may be a poor discriminator of illness post vaccination and should not replace clinical judgement.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
