Abstract
Clostridium difficile quarterly mandatory surveillance figures for October to December 2008 Latest reported Clostridium difficile figures from the HPA's Mandatory Surveillance Scheme show that between October and December 2008 there were 6,257 cases recorded in patients aged 65 years and over. This represents a fall of 11 % in this age group from the previous quarter, July to September 2008, when the total was 7,062. This also represents a fall of 38% from the same quarter in 2007 when 10,012 cases were recorded in patients aged 65 years and over, between October and December. C. difficile infections are an issue for the health economy at large and initiatives for reducing the incidence of C. difficile should extend beyond the acute Trust environment and encompass initiatives by a wider range of organisations (eg Primary Care Organisations [PCOs] and Strategic Health Authorities [SHAs]). Historically, the Agency has produced data based on the acute Trust at which patient specimens of C. difficile were processed. However, these data also show that more than 20 % are from patients not attending the acute Trust at which their specimen was processed.

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.
