Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is an orphan disease characterized by extreme elevations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Untreated, survival beyond 30 years is rare. The Canadian HoFH Registry was created by clinicians from across Canada to understand the burden of disease, current treatments, outcomes, and costs to society. The registry will be used to inform decisions for access to specialized therapies, such as LDL apheresis and orphan medications. To date, 79 cases of HoFH have been identified across the country, and 52 patients from 5 provinces have been enrolled.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
