High Serum Level of Antithymocyte Globulin Immediately before Graft Infusion Is Associated with a Low Likelihood of Chronic, But Not Acute, Graft-versus-Host Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is administered during transplant conditioning to decrease the risk of both acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Here we evaluated the relationship between the serum concentration of ATG (capable of binding to lymphocytes) immediately before graft infusion (day 0) or on day +7 or +28 post-transplantation and the development of aGVHD or cGVHD. We studied 180 patients whose conditioning included 4.5 mg/kg antithymocyte globulin (ATG; Thymoglobulin). For aGVHD, we found no association with ATG levels on day 0. Nevertheless, high day +7 and +28 ATG levels were associated with a low likelihood of aGVHD. For cGVHD, high ATG levels at all 3 time points (days 0, +7, and +28) were associated with a low likelihood of cGVHD. In conclusion, high-dose ATG administration at the time of graft infusion appears to inhibit the development of cGVHD, but not aGVHD; however, higher ATG levels on days +7 and +28 are associated with lower rates of both aGVHD and cGVHD.

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.
