The Correlation of Canine Elbow Dysplasia and Serving Time in Guide Dog Labrador Retrievers in New Zealand
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Canine elbow dysplasia (CED) is a degenerative disorder of the cubital joint leading to pain and lameness. In order to minimize the amount of guide dog Labrador Retrievers suffering from CED, the Blind Foundation Guide dogs in New Zealand uses the New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA) Elbow Dysplasia scheme to select dogs for training. In this retrospective study the serving time of different elbow grades were compared to see if a higher NZVA Elbow grade correlates to a shorter service time. When comparing the Kaplan-Meier Curved for the highest NZVA Elbow grade per dog, no significant different could be found. However, dogs with a clinical diagnosis of CED were found to have a significantly shorter mean service time of 3,3 years. In conclusion, this study shows no significant difference in serving time for guide dogs based on the NZVA grade at one year of age.

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.
