The Muscle-Bone Relationship in X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CONTEXT: We recently found that patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) have a muscle function deficit in the lower extremities. As muscle force and bone mass are usually closely related, we hypothesized that patients with XLH could also have a bone mass deficit in the lower extremities. OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to assess the muscle-bone relationship in the lower extremities of patients with XLH. SETTING: The study was carried out in the outpatients department of a pediatric orthopedic hospital. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Thirty individuals with XLH (6 to 60 y; 9 male patients) and 30 age- and gender-matched controls participated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Calf muscle size and density as well as tibia bone mass and geometry were assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Muscle function was evaluated as peak force in the multiple 2-legged hopping test. RESULTS: Muscle force was significantly lower in XLH patients than in controls but muscle cross-sectional area did not differ (after adjustment for tibia length). External bone size, expressed as total bone cross-sectional area, was higher in the XLH group than in controls. The XLH cohort also had statistically significantly higher bone mineral content. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with XLH have increased bone mass and size at the distal tibia despite muscle function deficits.

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.
