Impact of diurnal temperature range on rhinitis in Lanzhou, China: Accounting for COVID-19 effects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rhinitis is a global public health issue. A distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was used to examine the impact of diurnal temperature range (DTR) on nonallergic rhinitis (NAR) and allergic rhinitis (AR) in Lanzhou, China. Stratified analyses by age, gender, seasons, and the COVID-19 period were conducted, alongside extreme-DTR and attributable risk analyses . Using 37,225 cases, we found: 1. The nonlinear DTR-rhinitis relationship: high- and low-DTR acutely impacted AR, while primarily high DTR moderately affected NAR during full and pre-COVID-19 periods. 2. COVID-19 transformed the adverse impact of low-DTR into protective effects. 3. In full study period, AR showed age heterogeneity, and NAR displayed age and gender differences . In pre-COVID-19 study period, AR had age and gender variations. The age < 18 group, vulnerable to NAR and AR, requires concerns. 4. Low-DTR exhibits protective effects during cold seasons, while it poses adverse effects and increased risks in warm seasons. 5. Moderate high DTR contributed most to rhinitis outpatients. In conclusion, NAR and AR demonstrate distinct responses to short-term DTR exposure, which may be influenced by COVID-19 and seasonal factors. Future research is essential to assess the long-term impacts of DTR and COVID-19 effects on NAR and AR.

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.
