Impact of trainees involvement on surgical outcomes of abdominal and laparoscopic myomectomy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background To determine the association of trainees involvement with surgical outcomes of abdominal and laparoscopic myomectomy including operative time, rate of transfusion, and complications.Methods A retrospective cohort study of 1145 patients who underwent an abdominal or laparoscopic myomectomy from 2008–2012 using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2).Results Overall, 64% of myomectomies involved trainees. Trainees involvement was associated with a longer operative time for abdominal myomectomies (mean difference 20.17 minutes, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) [11.37,28.97], p < 0.01) overall and when stratified by fibroid burden. For laparoscopic myomectomy, there was no difference in operative time between trainees vs no trainees involvement (mean difference 4.64 minutes, 95% CI [−18.07,27.35], p = 0.67). There was a higher rate of transfusion with trainees involvement for abdominal myomectomies (10% vs 2%, p < 0.01; Odds Ratio (OR) 5.62, 95% CI [2.53,12.51], p < 0.01). Trainees involvement was not found to be associated with rate of transfusion for laparoscopic myomectomy (4% vs 5%, p = 0.86; OR 0.82, 95% CI [0.16,4.14], p = 0.81). For abdominal myomectomy, there was a higher rate of overall complications (15% vs 5%, p < 0.01; OR 2.96, 95% CI [1.77,4.93], p < 0.01) and minor complications (14% vs 4%, p < 0.01; OR 3.71, 95% CI [2.09,6.57], p < 0.01) with no difference in major complications (3% vs 2%, p = 0.23). For laparoscopic myomectomy, there was no difference in overall (6% vs 10% p = 0.41; OR 0.59, 95% CI [0.18,2.01], p = 0.40), major (2% vs 0%, p = 0.38), or minor (5% vs 10%, p = 0.32; OR 0.52, 95% CI [0.15,1.79], p = 0.30) complications.Conclusion Trainees involvement was associated with increased operative time, rate of transfusion, and complications for abdominal myomectomy, however, did not impact surgical outcomes for laparoscopic myomectomy.

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.
