Adrenergic receptor genotypes influence postoperative outcomes in infants in the Single-Ventricle Reconstruction Trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Adrenergic receptor (ADR) genotypes have been associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure. Our objective was to evaluate the association of ADR genotypes with post-Norwood outcomes in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). METHODS: Infants with HLHS participating in the Pediatric Heart Network Single-Ventricle Reconstruction Trial underwent genotyping for 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 3 ADR genes: ADRB1_231A/G, ADRB1_1165G/C, ADRB2_5318C/G, and ADRA2A_2790C/T. The association of genotype with freedom from serious adverse events (SAEs) (death, transplant, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, acute shunt failure, unplanned reoperations, or necrotizing enterocolitis) during 14 months' follow-up was assessed with Cox regression and the association with post-Norwood complications was assessed with Poisson regression. Models were adjusted for clinical and surgical factors. RESULTS: The study included 351 eligible patients (62% male; 83% white). The mean age at Norwood procedure was 5.6 ± 3.6 days. A total of 152 patients had SAEs during 14-month follow-up including 84 deaths and 10 transplants. ADRA2A_2790CC genotype had lower SAE-free survival compared with CT/TT genotypes during follow-up (Log rank test, P = .02), and this association was independent of clinical and surgical risk factors (adjusted Cox regression, hazard ratio 1.54 [95% confidence interval 1.04, 2.30] P = .033). Post-Norwood complication rate did not differ by genotype. CONCLUSIONS: Infants with HLHS harboring ADR genotypes that are associated with greater catecholamine release or sensitivity had lower event-free survival after staged palliation. Excess catecholamine activation may adversely affect cardiovascular adaptation after the Norwood procedure. Future studies should explore whether targeting adrenergic activation in those harboring risk genotypes can improve outcomes. (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00115934).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
