Abstract
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is caused by critical genetic defects affecting the immune system. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential for preventing life-threatening infections, end-organ damage, and complications. Newborn screening for SCID is currently performed in many provinces and territories across Canada. The SickKids Newborn Screening Centre in Toronto, Ontario, is a quaternary referral centre that has evaluated SCID newborn screen-positive infants since the program’s introduction in 2013. Here, we provide updated algorithms for clinical investigation and follow-up of infants with an initial positive screen. Statement of novelty: We provide algorithms for the clinical follow-up of SCID newborn screen-positive infants at a quaternary referral centre.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
