Abstract
The diagnosis of occupational asthma needs to be made objectively using as many criteria as possible. The latter include laboratory exposure tests with occupational agent(s), which are only available in specialized centers. Another approach is to monitor peak expiratory flow (PEF) and (or) methacholine airway responsiveness during periods at work and away from work. However, these measurements are open to misinterpretation when they are not optimally performed. Airway inflammation is one of the main characteristics of asthma. Induced sputum, a non-invasive method to assess airway inflammation, has been successfully used in the management of asthma. However, airway inflammation is seldom assessed during the investigation of occupational asthma. This article reviews the studies that have investigated and characterized the changes in sputum cell counts occurring in subjects with occupational asthma after exposure to occupational agents in the laboratory, or at the workplace to assess to place of induced sputum in the investigation of occupational asthma.

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.
