Protocol for a scoping review of climate change and the impact on health of people living with dementia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Environmental factors resulting from climate change and air pollution are risk factors for many chronic conditions including dementia. Although research has shown the impacts of air pollution on cognitive status, less is known about the association between climate change and specific health-related outcomes of older people living with dementia. In response to IPCC call, we will outline a scoping review protocol to systematically review the published literature regarding the effects of climate change including temperature and weather variability on health outcomes in older adults living with dementia. Methods and analysis: This scoping review will be guided by the framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. Electronic search (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science) using relevant subject headings and synonyms for 2 concepts (older people with dementia, weather/ climate change) will be conducted. No publication date or other restrictions will be applied to the search strategy. No language restriction will be used aiming to understand the impact of non-English studies in the literature. Eligible studies must include older adults (65+years) with dementia living in the community and investigate the impacts of climate change and/or weather on their health-related quality of life, morbidity, falls, use of health resources and mortality. Two independent reviewers will screen abstracts and select those for a full-text review, perform these reviews, select articles for retention, and extract data from them in a standardized manner. This data will then be synthesized and interpreted. OSF registration: DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/YRFM8.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
