Abstract
BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine the effects of systemic inflammation and symptoms of head and neck cancer patients on dietary intake and weight in relation to mode of treatment. METHODS: In all, 38 orally fed patients had intake, weight, C-reactive protein (CRP), and symptoms prospectively assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up. RESULTS: Intake/weight declined and CRP increased substantially in chemoirradiation patients (-11.4 ± 5.2 kg, -1214 kcal/day, 23.4 ± 24.9 mg/L; p < .05) versus radiotherapy patients (-3.5 ± 4.8 kg, -483 kcal/day, 8.3 ± 13.9 mg/L) during posttreatment (repeated-measures ANOVA). Multivariate generalized estimating equations modeling identified reduced swallowing capacity was a key predictor of energy intake in both treatment groups (p < .001); multiple symptoms experienced by radiotherapy/chemoirradiation patients were significant predictors of weight loss; additionally, in chemoirradiation patients, CRP was an independent predictor of weight loss (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of symptoms and systemic inflammation are important clinical targets to manage weight loss in patients with head and neck cancer, especially those treated with chemoirradiation.

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 it
