Long-term management of asthma in First Nations and Inuit children: A knowledge translation tool based on Canadian paediatric asthma guidelines, intended for use by front-line health care professionals working in isolated communities
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Asthma is a serious health problem for First Nations and Inuit children. In children younger than one year of age, asthma needs to be distinguished from viral bronchiolitis, which is unusually common in Canadian Aboriginal children. In children younger than six years of age, the diagnosis depends on the presence of typical symptoms, the absence of atypical features and the documentation of response to therapy - particularly a rapid, transient response to bronchodilators. In older children, the presence of reversible airway obstruction should be determined using spirometry whenever feasible to confirm the diagnosis. Environmental triggers should be evaluated and corrected whenever possible. Regular use of inhaled steroids is the most important measure for maintaining good asthma control in children with asthma. Clients and their families should receive asthma education. Control should be regularly reassessed at follow-up visits in health centres, with therapy adjusted to the lowest level capable of maintaining good control.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
