Follow-up of adult patients with repaired esophageal atresia: how, when, and for how long?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common congenital anomaly of the esophagus. With the progress of surgical and anesthetic techniques, the survival is now more than 90% and the majority of children survives and eventually reaches adulthood. However, even if the continuity of the esophagus is anatomically replaced by the surgery, there are some new pieces of evidence that suggest considerable long-term morbidity. In this paper, we will illustrate how symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux, dysphagia, and esophageal motility disturbances, as well as columnar epithelial metaplasia, are common in adults with repaired EA. The ideal follow-up for adult patients born with EA has not been clearly defined, and routine endoscopic assessment has not been widely advocated. It is well known that the patient's symptoms have a poor correlation with histological findings. However, routine follow-up may be expensive and time consuming. With the growing number of children reaching adulthood, it is now essential to know and understand the natural history of this condition to improve the management of these patients.

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.
