The Impact of Age on Electrocardiographic Findings of Stroke Patients: A Cross-Sectional Analytic Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate differences in ECG abnormalities in stroke patients in relation to age groups (less than forty, forty to sixty-five and greater than sixty-five years) in the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH)
 Methodology: This was a cross-sectional analytical study carried out at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin. The study subjects consisted of consecutive one hundred and twenty admitted stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria. History and physical examination were carried out for all patients with laboratory investigations and electrocardiographic examinations also performed on all patients. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 software with a P-value of less than 0.05 considered significant for all comparisons.
 Result: In this study, stroke was more in those under sixty-five years (n = 84, 70.00%) than in those above sixty-five years (n = 36, 30.00%). All (100.00%), 56 (77.78%) and 24 (66.67%) of cases less than forty, forty to sixty-five years and greater than sixty-five years respectively in this study had ECG abnormalities, this was significant (p = 0.021).
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Left ventricular hypertrophy predominates in less than forty years old cases while left axis deviation predominates in older than forty years cases. Some ECG abnormalities in certain age groups

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
