1350: Frequency of Appearance of Infections from Central Venous Catheters (CVC) in Patients after Open Heart Operation—Incidence of Infections Complications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose: Several Studies report that women with coronary artery disease (CAD) have a poorer prognosis that men and suggest that depressive symptoms, may be contributing factors.Results of our recent study using the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH) database (a provincial cohort of adults undergoing cardiac catheterization for CAD), comparing the health related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes of patients following treatment for CAD, demonstrated that women reported worse HRQOL at one-year follow-up compared to men.The objective of this study was to examine the gender differences in depressive symptoms, as they relate to HRQOL outcomes in a prospective cohort of individuals after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: Patients with documented AMI, admitted to 5 tertiary care and 5 community hospitals in Quebec were recruited at within 2-3 days of admission.Trained nurses collected demographic and clinical information from medical records and patients completed a mailed questionnaire that included the SF36 physical (PCS), and mental component summary (MCS) scores, and Beck Depression Inventory at baseline and the one-year anniversary of their admission for AMI.Information on vital status for patients lost to follow-up was obtained from a central death registry.Results: Of the 587 study subjects recruited, 486 (82%) completed the one-year follow-up questionnaire.Results showed that females had significantly worse PCS and MCS QOL at baseline and one-year follow-up compared to the males.While there was no significant difference in the mean Beck depression scores at baseline, the mean oneyear Beck scores were significantly higher (ps0.01)for females (10.02 sd 8.23) compared to males (7.78 sd 8.01) indicating more reported depressive symtomatology at one year.Multivariate analyses adjusting for clinical differences, baseline QOL, and baseline and one-year Beck scores, showed significant gender-related differences in the PCS scores.However, no gender-related differences in the 1-year MCS remained following adjustment.Conclusions: These results suggest that gender differences in the 1-year reported mental composite summary QOL result in part from gender-related differences 1-year levels of depression.More reported depression in women at 1-year may be a consequence of gender-specific recovery from an AMI and requires further investigation.

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.
