Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Purpose To evaluate physicians’ barriers and facilitators, as well as knowledge, practices, attitudes, and beliefs, regarding analgesia for IUD insertionMethodology A multi-center online survey was conducted from January to July 2023 in Ontario, Canada. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, ANOVA, and thematic analysis.Results Among 85 providers who responded to the survey, there was a lack of consensus regarding provision of analgesia for IUD insertion, as only 52.9% routinely provided pain control. The remaining 40 providers (47.1%) stated that they do not routinely provide pain control for IUD insertion, although 87.5% of participants stated that they would provide pain control if the patient specifically requested analgesia. No differences were found between academic and community staff (p = 0.94) or less experienced providers in provision of pain control (p = 0.24). Reasons for provision of pain control included patient comfort, care, and procedure safety. Conversely, other physicians believed the pain was minimal or short-lived, or faced logistical barriers in providing analgesia.Conclusions Patients and providers should engage in shared decision-making regarding pain control for IUD insertion.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
