Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Clinic capacity constraints are an ever-increasing problem in ophthalmology. Multiple case studies demonstrate that faricimab frees up clinic capacity with extended treatment intervals in both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients. In this symposium, three case studies from the UK and Spain demonstrated how fewer appointments per patient with faricimab resulted in several benefits, including timely treatment, reduced treatment burden for patients and caregivers, reduced frequency and cost of out-of-hours services, and freed up clinic staff to manage waiting lists in other ophthalmology services. Ultimately, these outcomes highlight that the introduction of faricimab is cost-effective, leading to better quality of care, the potential for better patient adherence, and less overtime and burnout for clinic staff.

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.
