Adequate Early Cyclosporin Exposure is Critical to Prevent Renal Allograft Rejection: Patients Monitored by Absorption Profiling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study used receiver operating characteristic analysis to investigate the properties of area under the concentration‐time curve during the first 4 h after cyclosporin‐microemulsion dosing (AUC0−4) and cyclosporin (CyA) levels immediately before and at 2 and 3 h after dosing (C0, C2 and C3) to predict the risk of biopsy‐proven acute rejection (AR) at 6 months. Ninety‐eight kidney transplant recipients treated with CyA‐microemulsion‐based triple therapy immunosuppression were studied on post‐transplant days 3, 5, and 7, and at increasing intervals thereafter.The most sensitive and specific predictor of AR was AUC0−4. Of the single time‐point measurements, the measurement properties of C2 were closest to those of AUC0−4, and superior to those of C3. The relationship between C0 and subsequent AR was weak and did not reach statistical significance. On day 3, CyA AUC0−4≥ 4400 ng . h/mL and C2≥ 1700 ng/mL were each associated with a 92% negative predictive value for rejection in the first 6 months. Pharmacokinetic measurements on or after day 5, and measurements on day 3 in patients with delayed graft function, were not predictive of AR.Adequate exposure within the first 3 days post transplantation may be critically important in preventing subsequent rejection.

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.
