Cellular Immunity and Seroprevalence of Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2: Characterisation of Three Populations of Food Workers [CISACOV, study data contributed to the CITF Databank]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<b>Background: </b>Food industry employees were deemed essential workers as they provided crucial services during the pandemic. They were perceived at greater risk of infection than those working remotely. <br> <b>Aims of the CITF-funded study: </b>The CISACOV study aimed to measure the COVID-19 infection rates of Quebec food industry workers and hardware workers, and to identify risk factors for this infection during the first years of the pandemic. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccine from blood samples collected during the study.<br> <b>Methods: </b>This cohort enrolled participants from multiple service sectors (grocery stores, restaurants/ bars and hardware store workers) in the greater Quebec City area and Chaudière-Appalaches region. Serological testing at enrolment was used to identify previous infection, and follow-up samples were collected every 12 weeks for up to 5 visits, tracking both infection and vaccination. <br> <b>Summary of the contributed data: </b>The datasets provides characteristics on 304 participants, covering demographics (age, sex, workplace region, weekly working hours), general health (BMI, smoke, other diseases, flu vaccine), exposure risk factors (household, travel history, gathering), longitudinal follow-up for COVID infections (COVID test, symptoms), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and serology. In addition, a total of 1,299 serology samples, one to five per participant, were collected between April 2021 and October 2022. <br>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
