Effect of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery on Pulmonary Function and Microbial Pathogens in a Pediatric Population With Cystic Fibrosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether improvements in pulmonary function and microbial pathogenic findings can be achieved by endoscopic sinus surgery in a pediatric population with cystic fibrosis. DESIGN: Retrospective medical record review. SETTING: Academic research. PATIENTS: Forty-one patients with cystic fibrosis who had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery at a single tertiary academic pediatric otolaryngology practice. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in pulmonary function test values or respiratory tract microbial pathogens after endoscopic sinus surgery were examined. RESULTS: Endoscopic sinus surgery did not improve pulmonary function test results in this population. Examination of respiratory tract microbial colonization showed that endoscopic sinus surgery did not affect microbial pathogens. The most common organisms isolated were Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. CONCLUSION: The lack of effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on pulmonary function test results and respiratory tract microbial pathogens in our study highlights the need for prospective assessments of postoperative quality-of-life improvement and of adjunct medical therapy efficacy.

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.
