Prevalence and determinants of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in Inuit women of Nunavik, Quebec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives: To study the prevalence and determinants of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among Inuit women in Nunavik, Quebec. Methods: We recruited a cohort of Inuit women seeking routine care and living in communities in Nunavik. Baseline demographic and lifestyle data was collected and cervical specimens were tested for HPV-DNA using the PGMY-Line blot assay. Results: Overall and high-risk (HR) HPV prevalence were 28.9% and 20.4%, respectively. Co-infections were observed in 40% of HPV-positive subjects. The most common HPV type was HPV-16; other prevalent HR types included HPV-31, HPV-52, and HPV-58. The most prevalent papillomavirus species were alpha-9 and alpha-3. In multivariate logistic regression, age (OR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.93-0.98) and ten or more lifetime sexual partners (OR: 2.25; 95% CI: 1.41-3.60) were associated with HR-HPV infection. Conclusions: HPV prevalence is elevated when compared to most Canadian populations. Age and markers of sexual activity appear to be risk factors for HR-HPV infection.

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.
