Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: On March 26, 2021, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) updated its dyslipidemia guidelines, recommending lipoprotein (a) measurement once in a patient’s lifetime, with the aim of enabling better cardiovascular risk assessment. It would therefore be interesting to determine the impact of this new recommendation on lipoprotein (a) prescription habits of physicians in Canada. Methods: A single-center observational study was performed at the “Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS)”, and all patients with lipoprotein (a) measurements ordered from June 2020 to December 2021 were included. An interrupted time series analysis and a segmented linear regression were used in analyzing the data. To properly validate assumptions, a logarithmic transformation was applied to the number of lipoprotein (a) measurements ordered per week. The primary endpoint was based on the slope change following March 26, 2021, regarding the number of lipoprotein (a) measurements ordered every week. Results: A total of 624 patients met our inclusion criteria. We observed an upward prepublication slope of 1.01 (95% CI: 0.99-1.02) and an upward slope of 1.03 (95% CI: 1.01-1.05) after publication. The slope difference between these two periods was statistically significant (p = 0.0014). Conclusion: The 2021 CCS’ updated guidelines on the management of dyslipidemia have influenced lipoprotein (a) prescription habits of physicians at the CHUS in 2021.

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.
