Tertiary prophylaxis in adults: is there a rationale?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There is lack of evidence-based recommendations or clear-cut consensus regarding the clinical and economic utility of regular prophylaxis started in adulthood, with the aim of keeping the clinical situation from getting worse by prevention of further bleeds contributing to increasing musculo-skeletal or other morbidity in haemophilia. Such a prophylaxis program has been shown in relatively small cohorts to be effective in reducing bleeding occurrence, with a variable effect on the joint status, but with significantly higher factor consumption and consequently higher costs than on-demand therapy. There has been no attempt to identify subsets of patients who may benefit from "tertiary" prophylaxis more than others, for example, due to their bleeding phenotype and/or requirements for product issued on-demand or to identify the dosage that provides the optimal balance of clinical benefit and cost effectiveness. This article reviews the published literature on prophylaxis started beyond the age of 18 years, the barriers to the uptake of prophylaxis programs particularly in adults and highlights areas in need of further research.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
