Abstract
PURPOSE: To describe the results of corneal transplants in infants and young children with congenital corneal disorders. METHODS: The charts of 38 children who underwent corneal transplantation for congenital corneal opacities from 1988 to 1999 at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, were reviewed. Parameters reviewed included indication, age at diagnosis and surgery, graft size, graft clarity, repeat surgery, glaucoma pre- and postsurgery, visual acuity, and refraction. RESULTS: Thirty-eight children (63 eyes) underwent 86 corneal transplants. The four most common indications for surgery included posterior polymorphous dystrophy, Peters anomaly, congenital glaucoma, and sclerocornea. Mean follow-up was 40.4 +/- 30.2 months (range, 2-111 months). Seventy-eight percent of the grafts were clear at the final follow-up visit. There were 23 repeat grafts in the entire group. CONCLUSIONS: The overall success rate of graft clarity was 78% for children undergoing corneal transplantation for congenitally opaque corneas. Best results were achieved in patients with posterior polymorphous dystrophy, followed by patients with Peters anomaly. Sclerocornea and congenital glaucoma carried a 50% chance of success, with repeated transplants needed for many of the eyes.

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 it
