Velopharyngeal insufficiency clinic: the first 18 months.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To profile the presentation and management of patients seen at a velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) clinic and to explore the role of commonly used investigations in the workup of VPI. DESIGN: Retrospective review. SETTING: Tertiary care VPI clinic. METHODS: A computerized database created at the time of patient assessment was accessed to review 75 patients seen over an 18-month span. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Descriptive analysis of patient demographics, presenting complaints, pathophysiology, and treatment. The incidence of chromosome 22q microdeletion in patients presenting to such a clinic was also determined. RESULTS: The most common etiology was persistent VPI following prior cleft palate surgery. Eleven percent of presenting patients were identified with 22q microdeletion by fluorescent in situ hybridization testing. CONCLUSIONS: VPI is the result of a wide number of etiologies, with a high incidence of 22q microdeletion identified. Routine genetic testing in VPI clinics is advocated.

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.
