Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection for Ischemic Stroke: Protocol for a Prospective, Multicenter Observational Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although results from in vitro studies and small randomized controlled trials have shown positive effects of Dazhu hongjingtian injection (DZHJTI) on acute ischemic stroke (AIS), their generalizability to routine clinical practice remains to be established. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DZHJTI treatment for AIS with regard to changes in the stroke-related neurological deficit from baseline to outpatient follow-up, mortality, subsequent vascular events, disability, and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in real-world clinical settings. By monitoring for adverse events or significant changes in vital signs and laboratory parameters, we also aim to assess the safety of DZHJTI. METHODS: This prospective, multicenter cohort study plans to enroll 2000 patients with AIS within 14 days of symptom onset from 30 hospitals across China. Eligible patients will be followed up for 6 months after initiating medication treatments. The primary outcome will be the change in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score from baseline to outpatient follow-up. The secondary outcomes include overall mortality, stroke recurrence, new-onset major vascular events, global disability, and improvement of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in 6 months. Adverse events or clinically significant changes in vital signs and laboratory parameters, regardless of the severity, will be recorded during the trial to assess the safety of DZHJTI. An augmented inverse propensity weighted estimator will be used to reduce variability and improve accuracy in average treatment effects estimation. RESULTS: The clinical trial registration was approved in October 2022, and the recruitment and enrollment of participants started in November 2022. The study's outcomes are expected to be published in 2025 in reputable, peer-reviewed health-related research journals. CONCLUSIONS: This real-world cohort study is the first to assess the effectiveness and safety of DZHJTI in treating AIS. It may provide additional clinical evidence, including the duration of response, long-term drug effectiveness, and subgroup efficacy data. The study results will be valuable for clinicians and patients seeking optimal treatment for AIS and could lead to better use of DZHJTI and improved patient outcomes.

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.
