Oral mucositis and quality of life in allogeneic bone marrow transplant patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose. Oral mucositis (OM) is a painful and potentially life-threatening sequela of bone marrow transplant (BMT) therapy. A patient-reported OM symptom scale (PROMS) was related to other measures of quality of life (QoL), while another scale for clinical assessment of OM using visual analogue scales (VAS-OMAS) based on a previously existing scale (OMAS) was also developed. Methods. Thirty-four patients were recruited. All questionnaires were administered over routine periods. Patients completed the PROMS and QoL questionnaires, while clinicians completed the OMAS and VAS-OMAS; one clinician using OMAS, the other using VAS-OMAS. Results. PROMS reliably measured patients' self-assessment of OM and it correlated well with QoL. The VAS-OMAS correlated well with the OMAS. Conclusions. The PROMS may be used to measure patient-based experiences with OM. The VAS-OMAS may be used interchangeably with the OMAS to assess OM and due to its simplicity of use, might even be preferred.

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.
