Physical activity and health related quality of life in children following kidney transplantation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Participation in PA is often diminished in children with CKD. Limited research exists on exercise tolerance/capacity but no studies to date have investigated lifestyle PA and its determinants in these children. The aim of this study was to investigate level of PA and potential physiological and psychological associations in a group of pediatric KTx recipients compared with CS. Twenty KTx and 33 CS participated. PA was measured by PAQ. HRQOL (PedsQL 4.0) and CY-PSPP were also measured. BMI and WC was recorded in all subjects; GFR, BP and immunosuppressants in KTx. Body measurements indicated the two groups were similar: 25% KTx and 24% CS had BMI >85th percentile. KTx were less physically active than CS in total exercise minutes (p = 0.005). CS reported higher HRQOL than KTx (p = 0.001). Higher perceptions of HRQOL were significantly correlated with higher number of steps/day in both groups (p = 0.034). KTx showed significantly lower perceptions of sports competence (p = 0.007) and physical conditioning (p = 0.001) than CS. Higher PAQ activity scores were significantly correlated with higher perceptions of body attractiveness (p = 0.019), Sport (p = 0.003) and Conditioning (p = 0.001). These results suggest that PA may play a role in overall well-being and HRQOL in KTx.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
