Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The debate over denominators for gestational age-specific analyses has challenged perinatal epidemiology for almost 40 years.Yudkin et al. [1] first proposed that stillbirths be counted as a function of foetuses in utero, a method expanded on by Joseph et al. [2] and others into what we now know as the 'fetuses at risk'.This has led to extensive debate and discussion in the literature on choices of denominators, including several papers in this journal [3][4][5].In this issue of Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Sexton et al. [6] study trends in gestational agespecific stillbirth in Australia with three different denominators: all births at a specific gestational age, all foetuses at risk and continuity-corrected foetuses at risk measure.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
