Development of Thyroid-Related Orbitopathy Following Cataract Surgery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIM: To report a case series of patients who had manifestation or aggravation of thyroid related orbitopathy (TRO) following cataract surgery in an Asian eye centre. METHODS: A systematic review of clinical records of patients with manifestation or aggravation of TRO was conducted. Inclusion criteria were manifestation or aggravation of TRO within 6 months of cataract surgery. RESULTS: Five patients treated for TRO at Singapore National Eye Centre from January 2007 to December 2008 were included in the study. There were 2 males and 3 females with mean age of 54.6 years (range 51-86). Surgery included phacoemulsification with implantation of intraocular lens. The mean interval between surgery and manifestation of symptoms was 7.4 weeks. Contralateral eye involvement was seen in all patients. Clinical presentation of orbitopathy ranged from increased soft issue swelling, proptosis and progression of myopathy to compressive optic neuropathy. One patient had total loss of vision. Mean follow-up was 21 months (range 2-60). CONCLUSION: TRO can present shortly after cataract surgery and lead to serious vision threatening complications. Patients will need to be counseled pre-operatively regarding the risk of post-operative period.

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.
