Exercise testing in pediatric lung transplant candidates with cystic fibrosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Exercise testing is considered an important prognostic tool for the selection of pediatric lung transplant candidates with end-stage CF lung disease. To better understand the current practice as it pertains to exercise testing, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 25 pediatric lung transplant centers within the IPLTC across Australia, Europe, and North America. All centers perform standardized exercise tests. Fifteen centers perform one single-field test (6MWT/12MWT), while seven perform a six-min walk plus an additional test: SWT (N = 1), 3MST (N = 1), and CPET (N = 5). Frequency of testing is markedly different among centers. Two centers conduct exercise testing once, all others at multiple time points. Equipment availability and cost were no limitations, but lack of time (20%) and personnel (16%), and paucity of prognostic evidence (16%) and reference values (12%) were stated. Exercise testing is considered important and extensively used in the evaluation of pediatric lung transplant candidates with CF; methods of exercise test and the frequency of testing vary widely. We propose a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy of exercise testing and its prognostic value using a standardized protocol.

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.
