Sulfonylurea intoxication at a tertiary care paediatric hospital.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Unintentional poisoning with sulfonylurea hypoglycaemic drugs is a serious danger to infants and children, as the ingestion of relatively small amounts can be fatal. Although the administration of octreotide is considered effective in patients that remain hypoglycaemic despite glucose administration, experience in children is limited. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of the clinical features of all children following sulfonylurea ingestion presenting between April 2001 and November 2008 at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. RESULTS: Ten children were identified with sulfonylurea exposure; six were classified as suspected ingestion and four had confirmed signs of sulfonylurea overdoses (mean age: 8.2 years; range 1.5 - 15). All four patients with confirmed ingestion were exposed to glyburide and developed severe hypoglycaemia; two were toddlers and two teenagers. Ingestion was accidental in the case of the toddlers, and suicidal attempts in the case of the adolescents. All patients were initially treated with glucose infusions. Both toddlers also received octreotide with favourable response and no rebound hypoglyacemia. The two teenagers were treated only with prolonged glucose infusions; in both cases rebound hypoglycaemia and increased glucose requirements were observed. DISCUSSION: Glyburide-induced hypoglycaemia was pronounced in all patients identified. Treatment with octreotide proved effective in the 2 infants treated, agreeing with the limited experience reported to date in the literature, and suggesting that octreotide should be considered the treatment of choice in children.

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.
