Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Obesity rates for Canadian adults are much higher today than in the past, raising questions about how to achieve healthy weights and mitigate the associated health risks. While not a solution at the population level, bariatric surgery may be a treatment option for a relatively small proportion of obese individuals. In Canada, unlike in the United States, no consistent trend was evident in the use of this surgery between 1996-97 and 2003-04 across the five provinces for which comparable data were available. In 2003-04, bariatric surgeries were performed predominantly for women (87%); the average length of stay in hospital was 5 days; and 1.4% of patients were readmitted to hospital within 7 days of their discharge after surgery.

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.

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.
