Effect of a Single Dose Montelukast Sodium on Methacholine Chloride PC<sub>20</sub>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: It is currently recommended that leukotriene modifiers (receptor antagonists and synthesis inhibitors) be withheld for a minimum of 24 h before direct bronchoprovocation testing, but there is little evidence to support this recommendation. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of a single oral dose of montelukast sodium 10 mg on airway response to methacholine chloride-induced bronchoconstriction. METHODS: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover trial was performed in 12 subjects with asthma whose methacholine chloride concentration causing a 20% decrease in the forced expiratory volume during the first second of exhalation (PC20) was 8 mg/mL or lower and a baseline forced expiratory volume during the first second of exhalation of 70% predicted or greater. Two-minute tidal breathing methacholine chloride inhalation challenges were performed 1 h and 25 h after both 10 mg montelukast sodium and identical-appearing placebo. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the methacholine chloride PC20 between active treatment and placebo at 1 h post-10 mg montelukast sodium (1.0 mg/mL versus 1.3 mg/mL; n=12; P=0.17, respectively) or at 25 h post-10 mg montelukast sodium (1.4 mg/mL versus 1.9 mg/mL; n=11; P=0.15, respectively). CONCLUSION: A single dose of montelukast sodium did not affect methacholine chloride-induced bronchoconstriction measured after 1 h and 25 h.

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.
