Safety issues associated with dietary management in patients with hepatic glycogen storage disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Hepatic glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of inherited disorders of carbohydrate metabolism for which dietary management is the cornerstone. Safety and acute complications associated with dietary management have been poorly documented. We hypothesized that safety issues and complications associated with dietary management are prevalent amongst patients with these ultra-rare disorders. METHODS: A questionnaire was developed consisting of 40 questions and was distributed via eight GSD patient organizations from multiple countries. Respondents were (caregivers of) patients with self-reported hepatic GSD. RESULTS: 249 GSD patients from 26 countries responded with a median age of 14.8 years (range: 0.5-66.1). Although management was considered safe by 71% of patients, 51% reported at least one acute complication associated with dietary management, with a total number of 425 reported complications. Most frequently reported causes were: not waking up by an alarm clock (n = 70), forgetting a meal (n = 57) and infections (n = 43). Most frequently reported complications were: hypoglycemia (n = 112), hospital admissions (n = 79) and drowsiness (n = 74). Most complications occurred before the age of 12 years (82%; 637/774 total number of reported events) and during night time (63%; 340/536). Only 61% (152/249) of the GSD patients reported using a written emergency protocol. CONCLUSIONS: Safety issues and complications associated with dietary management are prevalently reported by (caregivers of) 249 GSD patients. A discrepancy has been observed between the patient's perspective on safety of dietary management and occurrence of complications as a result of dietary management.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
