Abstract
AIMS: As low rates of thiamine are thought to be implicated in alcohol-related cognitive disorders, we wanted to assess patients with alcohol use disorders (AUD) during detoxification for their nutritional status and test if vitamins blood levels were associated with a surrogate of cognitive impairment. METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review of medical records of 94 consecutive patients hospitalized for alcohol detoxification in a specialized addiction medicine department. Nutritional status was assessed with Body Mass Index (BMI). Vitamins blood levels were available for 80 patients, but thiamine only for 52 patients. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score was used to screen for cognitive impairment at Day 10 of entry and was available in 59 patients. A binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with MoCA scores below the threshold (26 points). RESULTS: The mean BMI was 23.28 ± 3.78 kg/m2 and 8.79% of weighted patients qualified for malnutrition. The mean MoCA score was 22.75 ± 4.88 points, and 66% of tested patients were below the threshold of suspected cognitive impairment. No low blood thiamine level was found. In multivariate analysis, BMI, but not vitamins blood rates, was significantly associated with a pathological MoCA screening test. CONCLUSION: Clinical examination is more sensitive than biomarkers to determine malnourished AUD patients who are at-risk for cognitive impairment. Malnourished patients with AUD should receive a full neuropsychological testing. SUMMARY: This retrospective chart review study screened for cognitive disorders during alcohol inpatient detoxification with the MoCA test. Body mass index, but not vitamins blood rates, was associated with a pathological MoCA. Clinical examination is more sensitive than biomarkers to determine malnourished AUD patients who are at-risk for cognitive impairment.

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 it
