Hyperglycemia After Metformin Overdose: A Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a case of a 16-year-old non-diabetic girl who ingested over 35 tablets (glucophage Merck 850 mg) of metformin in a suicide attempt. She presented to pediatric emergency department with severe lactic acidosis and a progressively increasing serum glucose level. She was in a coma state at the time of admission, Glasgow coma scale was 3/15 and arterial blood pressure was 106/45 mm Hg. Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis indicated severe metabolic acidosis (pH 6.7) with high anion gap -30.5, PCO 2 13.2, HCO 3 3.9, BE -30, lactate 14.54 mmol/L, blood glucose 497, amylase 531 IU/L, and uric acid 10.47 mg/dL. Serum ethanol, acetaminophen and salicylates were measured and found to be undetectable. Electrocardiographic monitoring demonstrated a narrow-complex sinus tachycardia. She was intubated, totally 2,000 cc/m 2 fluid and NaHCO 3 were given, and insulin infusion 0.1 units/kg was started for blood glucose of 497 mg/dL. But the patient suffered several cardiac arrests with pulseless electrical activity and ultimately expired 25 h after the ingestion. The patient was transferred to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for high-volume continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). Despite the supportive care in ICU, she died due to multiple organ failures after 48 h of hospitalization. Int J Clin Pediatr. 2016;5(3-4):44-46 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/ijcp259w

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.
