Exercise and the multidisciplinary holistic approach to adolescent dysautonomia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIM: To determine whether an eight-week strength training programme as part of a multidisciplinary approach would minimise symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with dysautonomia. METHODS: Adolescents referred to a tertiary-level cardiology service from May 2014-December 2015 with symptoms of dysautonomia were eligible. Participants completed an exercise test and a quality of life (QoL) questionnaire (PedsQL) prior to the intervention. Participants were asked to complete exercises five times per week. After eight weeks, participants returned for follow-up testing. Parents completed a proxy report of their child's QoL at both time points. RESULTS: A total of 17 participants completed the study protocol with an adherence rate of up to 50%. Post-intervention, QoL scores improved across all levels in the participants [total 65.2 (50.4-74.7) vs 48.9 (37.5-63.0); p = 0.006; psychosocial 65.8 (56.1-74.6) vs 50.0 (41.7-65.8); p = 0.010; physical 62.5 (37.5-76.6) vs 43.8 (25-68.5); p = 0.007] and their parent proxy reports [total 63.5 (48.7-81.3) vs 50.0 (39.3-63.0); p = 0.004; psychosocial 62.1 (52.1-81.3) vs 50.0 (39.6-59.2); p = 0.001; physical 62.5 (51.6-80.0) vs 50.0 (27.5-70.3); p = 0.003]. Treadmill time also improved (9.1 vs 8.0 minutes; p = 0.005). CONCLUSION: Following an eight-week strength training programme, dysautonomia patients report a significant improvement in both their quality of life and endurance time.

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.
