Depression, anxiety, alexithymia and somatosensory sensitivity in patients with benign palpitation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the frequency of depression, anxiety, alexithymia and somatosensory sensitivity in patients with benign palpitation with healthy controls.Method: Sixty-one patients with palpitation and 59 age- and sex-matched control subjects were enrolled. All study subjects were undergone thorough cardiac evaluation, and patients with palpitation also had echocardiography and 24-hour ECG monitoring to rule out significant arrhythmias, coronary artery disease and structural heart disease. All subjects were assessed by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Toronto Alexithymia scale, Whiteley Index (WI) and Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SAS).Results: Patients with benign palpitation had significantly increased BAI, BDI, WI and SAS scores. Anxiety is the only independent predictor of benign palpitation (odds ratio = 1.12, 95% confidence interval = 1.05–1.19, p < 0.001).Conclusion: This study shows that patients with benign palpitation had increased anxiety levels and somatization disorders. So an integrated psycho-cardiological approach is needed in this special population.

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.
