Abstract
BACKGROUND: We investigated whether the outcome of revascularization differed from the outcome of medical therapy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and non-CKD patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 2,010 patients with CTO who underwent revascularization (n=1,355), including percutaneous coronary intervention (n=878) and coronary artery bypass grafting (n=477), or had medical therapy alone (n=655) were examined. The primary outcome was all-cause death during follow-up. Among the non-CKD patients (n=1,679), revascularization had a lower incidence of all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-0.72, P<0.001) compared with medical therapy. Among the CKD patients (n=331), the difference in the incidence of all-cause death was not as marked between the 2 treatments (adjusted HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.48-1.06, P=0.09). There was a significant interaction between kidney function and treatment strategy (revascularization vs. medical therapy) on all-cause death (P for interaction=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the clinical outcomes, in CTO patients with preexisting CKD, revascularization via PCI or bypass surgery might not be as effective as in non-CKD patients.

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
