Influence of Prematurity on Postnatal Maturation of Heart Rate and Arterial Pressure Responses to Hypoxia in Lambs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: While hypoxic events with bradycardias are a frequent occurrence during the first weeks of life in preterm infants, the impact of preterm birth on maturation of the cardiovascular response to hypoxia in early postnatal life is unknown. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that preterm birth influences postnatal maturation of cardiovascular responses to hypoxia. METHODS: 6 preterm lambs (term 132 days, birth weight 2.9 kg) and 6 full-term lambs (term 147 days, birth weight 4.3 kg) were studied without sedation on days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 during acute, steady-state hypoxia (FIO(2) = 0.08, 15 min). RESULTS: Results show that full-term lambs increased their heart rate (HR) in response to hypoxia from the first day of life, with no postnatal maturation thereafter. In preterm lambs, HR did not change before day 14 and the full-term-like response was not acquired before 2 weeks after theoretical term. In both groups, mean arterial pressure tended to decrease below baseline, but the amplitude of variations remained of small magnitude. CONCLUSION: The present results bring unique evidence that preterm birth is associated with a blunted heart response to steady-state hypoxia during the first postnatal week and a delay in the maturation of HR response.

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.
