Persistent elevation of fibroblast growth factor 23 concentrations in healthy appropriate-for-gestational-age preterm infants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the temporal evolution of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], its epimer, parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and minerals in healthy appropriate-for-gestational-age preterms. PATIENTS: A prospective study was undertaken in infants born at 28-32 weeks with monitoring at 1, 3, 5 weeks and term. METHODS: Morning plasma and urine calcium; phosphorus; creatinine; PTH, C-terminal and intact FGF23 (iFGF23) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry measurements of 25(OH)D were undertaken. Analyses included regression models. RESULTS: Some 11 infants (5 males) were recruited at a median gestational age of 31.2 weeks (interquartile range: 28.1-31.8). Standard chemistries were normal. No infant was vitamin D deficient; 58% achieved 50 nmol/L with a median intake of 540 IU/day. High concentrations of C-3 epimer were detected. iFGF23 and C-terminal concentrations were persistently elevated (double and ten times adult norms, respectively). Tubular resorption of phosphorus was normal (88%±8%). CONCLUSIONS: Most infants achieved acceptable 25(OH)D3 concentrations. The biologic significance of the elevated FGF23 is unclear.

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.
