.gitattributesfile. You don't need to make any changes to this file. If git lfs is properly installed, the required files will automatically be pushed as lfs files. -
Add a proper description for the eval in the
.yamlfile.
I also need some clarification regarding some samples in the dataset. For example, consider the following abstract:
I want to know how this abstract defines the Population Demographics. Please extract the sections in the abstract that define the demographics.
Effects of low-level laser therapy on bone regeneration of the midpalatal suture after rapid maxillary expansion. This study evaluated the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on bone regeneration at the midpalatal suture (MPS) after rapid maxillary expansion (RME), using cone beam computed tomography. Fourteen 8-14-year-old patients with transverse maxillary deficiency underwent RME with a Hyrax-type expander activated with one full turn after installation and two half turn daily activations until achieving overcorrection. Patients were randomly assigned to either a control group (RME alone, n = 4) or an experimental group (n = 10) in which RME was followed by 12 LLLT sessions (GaAlAs, p = 70 mW, λ = 780 nm, Ø = 0.04 cm(2)). Two tomographic images of the MPS were obtained-T0, after disjunction and T1, after 4 months. Bone regeneration was evaluated by measuring the optical density (OD) on the tomographic images using InVivo Dental 5.0 software. Data were analyzed by the paired Student's t test (α = 0.05 %). A statistically significant difference between T0 and T1 OD values was observed in the laser-treated group (p = 0.00), but this difference was not significant in the control group (p = 0.20). Intergroup comparison of OD values at T1 revealed higher OD in the laser-treated group (p = 0.05). In conclusion, LLLT had a positive influence on bone regeneration of the midpalatal suture by accelerating the repair process.
The ideal answer for this is: In the abstract, population demographics are defined by the following spans: 'midpalatal suture after rapid maxillary expansion', 'midpalatal suture (MPS) after rapid maxillary expansion (RME)', but in my opinion, the demographic span here should be 8-14-year-old patients with transverse maxillary deficiency. Can you provide some clarification on this?
We would love to review the PR again after the suggested changes.

We apologize for the inconsistency, we looked into the dataset and found that this version included examples containing 'problem' as part of the population (as per PICO criteria labeling) as opposed to strictly population demographics. We are resubmitting a different version, with different abstracts, which contains only demographics annotations. |

🚨 Please make sure your PR follows these guidelines, failure to follow the guidelines below will result in the PR being closed automatically. Note that even if the criteria are met, that does not guarantee the PR will be merged nor GPT-4 access granted. 🚨
PLEASE READ THIS:
In order for a PR to be merged, it must fail on GPT-4. We are aware that right now, users do not have access, so you will not be able to tell if the eval fails or not. Please run your eval with GPT-3.5-Turbo, but keep in mind as we run the eval, if GPT-4 gets higher than 90% on the eval, we will likely reject since GPT-4 is already capable of completing the task.
We plan to roll out a way for users submitting evals to see the eval performance on GPT-4 soon. Stay tuned! Until then, you will not be able to see the eval performance on GPT-4. Starting April 10, the minimum eval count is 15 samples, we hope this makes it easier to create and contribute evals.
Also, pelase note that we're using Git LFS for storing the JSON files, so please make sure that you move the JSON file to Git LFS before submitting a PR. Details on how to use Git LFS are available here.
Eval details 📑
Eval name
Population Span Extraction
The <eval_name> is population_span_extraction
ID is population_span_extraction.dev.v0
Eval description
The model is shown abstracts of clinical drug trials and tasked with extracting the text spans that specify the population demographic of the shown abstract. The population demographic can be but is not necessarily specified in multiple seperate spans.
What makes this a useful eval?
The Repository specifically asks for "Real-world use cases". Extracting population spans from clinical study trials is immensly useful to researchers who have to go over and compare large amounts of clinical drug trials.
The eval dataset is generated with multiple different prompts and statisfies all further critera posed by Open AI.
Criteria for a good eval ✅
Below are some of the criteria we look for in a good eval. In general, we are seeking cases where the model does not do a good job despite being capable of generating a good response (note that there are some things large language models cannot do, so those would not make good evals).
Your eval should be:
Basicevals or theFactModel-graded eval, or an exhaustive rubric for evaluating answers for theCriteriaModel-graded eval.Eval structure 🏗️
Your eval should
evals/registry/data/{name}evals/registry/evals/{name}.yaml(For now, we will only be approving evals that use one of the existing eval classes. You may still write custom eval classes for your own cases, and we may consider merging them in the future.)

This study evaluates the effects of the telephonic lifestyle intervention 'Hartcoach' on risk factors and self-management in patients with recent coronary events. DESIGN This was a randomised trial in five Dutch hospitals. METHODS Patients (18-80 years), less than eight weeks after hospitalisation for acute myocardial infarction or (un)stable angina pectoris were randomised to the Hartcoach-group, who received telephonic coaching every four weeks for a period of six months (in addition to usual care), and a control group receiving usual care only. Simple random allocation was used (without relation to prior assignment). Measurements were taken by research nurses blinded for group allocation. Differences after six months of participation were compared using linear or logistic regression models with treatment-group and baseline score for the outcome under analysis as covariates, resulting in adjusted mean change (b). RESULTS Altogether 374 patients were randomised (173 Hartcoach + usual care, 201 usual care only). Follow-up was obtained in 331 patients who still participated after six months. Hartcoach had significant favourable effects on body mass index (BMI) (b = -0.32; 95% CI:(-0.63- -0.003)), waist circumference (b = -1.71; 95% CI:(-2.73- -0.70)), physical activity (b = 15.08 (score); 95% CI:(0.13, 30.04)) daily intake of vegetables (b = 13.41; 95% CI:(1.10-25.71)), self-management (b = 0.11; 95% CI:(0.00-0.23)) and anxiety (b = -0.65; 95% CI:(-1.25- -0.06)). Hartcoach slightly increased the total number of risk scores on target (b = 0.45; 95% CI:(0.17-0.73)). CONCLUSIONS Hartcoach has modest impact on BMI, waist circumference, physical activity, intake of vegetables, self-management and anxiety. Therefore, it may be a useful maintenance programme in addition to usual care, to support patients with recent coronary events to improve self-management and reduce risk factors."}], "ideal": "In the abstract, population demographics are defined by the following spans: 'patients with recent coronary events', 'Patients (18-80 years), less than eight weeks after hospitalisation for acute myocardial infarction or (un)stable angina pectoris'"} {"input": [{"role": "system", "content": "I have an abstract for a clinical drug trial.

Trials of acute pain are complicated by the need to obtain consent, to randomize participants expeditiously while optimally treating pain. We describe the challenges in designing and implementing the Pain Management of Vaso-occlusive Crisis in Children and Young Adults with Sickle Cell Disease Study (NCT01954927), a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the effect of gabapentin for vaso-occlusive crisis. METHODS In the Pain Management of Vaso-occlusive Crisis in Children and Young Adults with Sickle Cell Disease Study, we aim to assess the analgesic effect of gabapentin during vaso-occlusive crisis. Difficulties we identified included avoiding delay of notification of study staff of potential participants which we resolved by automated notification. Concern for rapid randomization and drug dispensation was addressed through careful planning with an investigational pharmacy and a single liquid formulation. We considered obtaining consent during well-visits to avoid the time constraints with acute presentations, but the large number of patients and limited duration that consent is valid made this impractical. RESULTS In all, 79% of caregivers/children approached have agreed to participate. The trial is currently active, and enrollment is at 45.8% of that targeted (76 of 166) and expected to continue for two more years. Maintaining staff availability after-hours remains problematic, with 8% of screened patients missed for lack of available staff. LESSONS LEARNED Lessons learned in designing a trial to expedite procedures in the acute pain setting include (1) building study evaluations upon a standard-of-care backbone; (2) implementing a simple study design to facilitate consent and data capture; (3) assuring ample, well-trained study staff; and (4) utilizing technology to automate procedures whenever possible. CONCLUSION This study design has circumvented many of the logistical barriers usually associated with acute pain trials and may serve as a prototype for future studies."}], "ideal": "In the abstract, population demographics are defined by the following spans: 'Vaso-occlusive Crisis in Children and Young Adults'"} {"input": [{"role": "system", "content": "Extract the Population Demographic information from the provided abstract."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Sensor and software use for the glycaemic management of insulin-treated type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.\n\nLowering glucose levels, while avoiding hypoglycaemia, can be challenging in insulin-treated patients with diabetes. We evaluated the role of ambulatory glucose profile in optimising glycaemic control in this population. Insulin-treated patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes were recruited into a prospective, multicentre, 100-day study and randomised to control (n = 28) or intervention (n = 59) groups. The intervention group used ambulatory glucose profile, generated by continuous glucose monitoring, to assess daily glucose levels, whereas the controls relied on capillary glucose testing. Patients were reviewed at days 30 and 45 by the health care professional to adjust insulin therapy. Comparing first and last 2 weeks of the study, ambulatory glucose profile-monitored type 2 diabetes patients (n = 28) showed increased time in euglycaemia (mean \u00b1 standard deviation) by 1.4 \u00b1 3.5 h/day (p = 0.0427) associated with reduction in HbA1c from 77 \u00b1 15 to 67 \u00b1 13 mmol/mol (p = 0.0002) without increased hypoglycaemia.

In addition, many adverse reactions were observed in these patients. AIMS The purpose of the \"EMERITE\" (NCT01074619) study was to examine the efficacy and safety of the long-term administration of memantine as a symptomatic treatment for cognitive disorders in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS). METHODS The study was supported by the French Ministry of Health and received additional support from Lundbeck. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, randomized trial, the participants were assigned to receive memantine (20 mg/day) or a placebo for 52 weeks. The participants included males and females, 18-60 years of age, with a diagnosis of RR-MS and presenting with a cognitive complaint and/or demonstrating moderate cognitive impairment. The data were collected in the Department of Neurology in 19 French centers. The primary outcome was the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) score at week 52. Secondary measurements included additional neuropsychological tests and the annualized relapse rate. The scores were adjusted according to the baseline scores in the analysis. The safety was assessed by the number of adverse events. The random sequence was generated using the Excel software. At each center, only the pharmacist had access to the allocation sequence and could be asked to unblind the trial. RESULTS Fifty patients were allocated to the memantine group, and 43 to the placebo group. The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included 31 patients in each group. After adjusting for the PASAT scores at baseline, the PASAT scores at the end point did not differ between the memantine and the placebo groups (p=0.88). Adjusted mean score difference (memantine minus placebo), was -0.40 (95% confidence interval: -5.5; +4.7). No significant differences were observed for the secondary outcomes (short term memory and attention scores, EDSS, and relapse rate). The findings remained unchanged after multiple imputation of the missing values. Neurological and psychiatric adverse events were significantly higher in the memantine group than in the placebo group, and these parameters were higher than those reported in the product literature of memantine.

DESIGN Randomized Phase 3 studies. SETTING International study centers. PARTICIPANTS Adults with T2DM. MEASUREMENTS Changes from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c ), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), blood pressure (BP), and body weight were measured. Efficacy was evaluated using pooled data from six randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (N = 4,158; n = 3,975 aged <75, n = 183 aged \u226575). Safety was assessed based on adverse event (AE) reports from eight randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled studies (N = 9,439; n = 8,949 aged <75, n = 490 aged \u226575). RESULTS Canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg were associated with placebo-subtracted mean reductions in HbA1c in participants younger than 75 (-0.69% and -0.85%, respectively) and aged 75 and older (-0.65% and -0.55%, respectively). Dose-related reductions in FPG, body weight, and BP were seen with canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg in participants in both age groups. Overall AE incidence was 67.1% with canagliflozin 100 mg, 68.6% with canagliflozin 300 mg, and 65.9% with non-canagliflozin (pooled group of comparators in all studies) in participants younger than 75, and 72.4%, 79.1%, and 72.3%, respectively, in those aged 75 and older, with a similar safety profile in both groups. The incidence of volume depletion-related AEs was 2.2%, 3.1%, and 1.4% in participants younger than 75 with canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg and non-canagliflozin, respectively, and 4.9%, 8.7%, and 2.6%, respectively, in those aged 75 and older. CONCLUSION Canagliflozin improved glycemic control, body weight, and BP in participants aged 75 and older. The overall incidence of AEs was high across treatment groups in participants aged 75 and older and higher than in those younger than 75. The safety profile of canagliflozin was generally similar in both age groups, with a higher incidence of AEs related to volume depletion observed with canagliflozin in participants aged 75 and older than in those younger than 75.

VSCs also play an important role in the progression of periodontal disease. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of the single ingestion of a tablet containing 20 mg of lactoferrin, 2.6 mg of lactoperoxidase, and 2.6 mg of glucose oxidase on VSCs in the mouth. METHOD Subjects with VSCs greater than the olfactory threshold in their mouth air ingested a test or placebo tablet in two crossover phases. The concentrations of VSCs were monitored at baseline and 10 and 30 min after ingestion of the tablets using portable gas chromatography. RESULTS Thirty-nine subjects were included in the efficacy analysis based on a full analysis set (FAS). The concentrations of total VSCs and H2S at 10 min were significantly lower in the test group than in the placebo group (-0.246 log ng/10 ml [95 % CI -0.395 to -0.098], P = 0.002; -0.349 log ng/10 ml; 95 % CI -0.506 to -0.192; P < 0.001, respectively). In the subgroup analysis, a significant difference in the concentration of total VSCs between the groups satietywas also observed when subjects were fractionated by sex (male or female) and age (20-55 or 56-65 years). The reducing effect on total VSCs positively correlated with the probing pocket depth (P = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the ingestion of a tablet containing lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and glucose oxidase has suppressive effects on oral malodor.
