Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Air pollution as a potential risk factor, mediator or moderator of TB incidence. Most of the studies focused on the provincial and urban areas, while Changping District, as a high incidence area and county of tuberculosis in Beijing, its relationship with pollutants is not clear, so this study aims to investigate the associations of air pollutants and their interactions on the number of new TB cases in Changping District, Beijing, China. METHODS: Data from Beijing Changping Institute for Tuberculosis Prevention and Treatment on monthly new TB cases from 2014 to 2022. Distributed lag nonlinear models are used to examine the associations of each 10 µg/m3 increase in PM10 and NO2 concentrations, along with extreme exposure episodes, with TB incidence. RESULTS: The cumulative relative risk (RR) of increasing pollutant concentrations is positively correlated with lag months for PM10, but the opposite result is observed for NO2. In terms of long and short-term relationships, increased PM10 concentration and extremely low NO2 concentration are associated with long-term hazardous for most subgroups, while extremely high PM10 and NO2 concentrations are associated with short-term hazardous. CONCLUSION: Increased concentrations of PM10 and NO2 having long-term or short-term effects on populations. Therefore, strengthening air quality monitoring and control is of great significance for the prevention of tuberculosis in Beijing.

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.
