Abstract
BACKGROUND: Down's syndrome is the commonest genetic condition. ENT problems are common in these children and can affect their development and quality of life. METHOD: English literature review and experience of the senior author in managing ENT problems in children and adults with Down's syndrome. SEARCH STRATEGY: We carried out a Medline search on 31/03/2012 of English language publications using the following keywords: Down/Down's syndrome, hearing loss, ear infections, sleep apnoea, thyroid. RESULTS: The prevalence, presenting features and management of many common ENT conditions are significantly different in children who have Down's syndrome. This is particularly true of otitis media with effusion and sleep-disordered breathing. CONCLUSION: The outpatient consultation for a child with Down's syndrome should assess a range of specific ENT problems affecting this patient group including hearing issues, sleep-disordered breathing, recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, as well as other health conditions like hypothyroidism, atlantoaxial instability and cardiac issues, which can potentially affect the management of the patient.

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
