Hemostatic Parameters and Platelet Activation Marker Expression in Cyanotic and Acyanotic Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery in the Presence of Tranexamic Acid
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have investigated hemostatic parameters including platelet activation in 56 pediatric patients with or without cyanosis undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardiac surgery to repair congenital defects. Patients were participants in a study assessing the effects of tranexamic acid on surgery-related blood loss. Parameters monitored included blood loss, prothrombin F1.2, thrombin-antithrombin complexes, t-PA, PAI-1, plasminogen, fibrin D-dimer, and plasma factor XIII. Additionally, flow cytometry monitored platelet degranulation (P-selectin or CD63), as well as surface-bound fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor and factor XIIIa. Cyanotic patients had evidence of supranormal coagulation activation as both fibrin D-dimer and PAI-1 levels were elevated prior to surgery. While the extent of expression of P-selectin or CD63 was not informative, platelet-associated factor XIIIa was elevated in cyanotic patients at baseline. In both patient groups, CPB altered platelet activation state and coagulation status irrespective of the use of tranexamic acid.

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.
