Relationship between endomyocardial biopsy score and cyclosporine 2‐h post‐dose levels (C<sub>2</sub>) in heart transplant patients receiving anti‐thymocyte globulin induction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cyclosporine (CsA) 2-h post-dose levels (C(2)) correlate better with the area-under-the-curve compared with trough levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between C(2) and endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) score in heart transplant patients receiving anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-induction. METHODS: We reviewed 517 EMB performed during the first year in 39 adult heart transplant patients receiving ATG-induction, corticosteroids, mycophenolate mofetil and CsA. C(2) obtained on the day of EMB was related to the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation classification (score </=2 or >/=3A). Furthermore, EMB were related to C(2) (ng/mL), sorted according to the lower recommended range in liver (0-3 months: 850; 4-6 months: 700; 7-12 months: 500) or renal transplantation (0-1 month: 1500; 2-3 months: 1200; 4-6 months: 1000; 7-12 months: 800). RESULTS: Overall, C(2) did not significantly differ in patients with EMB </=2 or >/=3A. However, during the first month, EMB </=2 was associated with a trend towards a higher mean C(2) compared with EMB >/=3A (750 ng/mL vs. 530 ng/mL). When C(2) were sorted according to the lower recommended range in liver or renal transplantation, no significant difference was observed when EMB was </=2 or >/=3A. CONCLUSIONS: In heart transplant patients receiving ATG-induction, C(2) did not significantly differ according to EMB </=2 or >/=3A. No significant relationship was found between EMB score and C(2) based on the lower recommended range in liver or renal transplantation. However, mean C(2) >750 ng/mL appears to be associated with a lower rejection score during the first month.

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.
