Pregnancy Screening and Contraceptive Counseling in Young Women with Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Single Center Retrospective Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose: Chemotherapeutic agents used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma are teratogenic. Pregnancy screening before the start of chemotherapy is supported by clinical guidelines. There are limited data on pregnancy screening before the start of Hodgkin therapy but previous studies suggest that it is not consistently completed. The objective of this study is to evaluate the completion of pregnancy screening before the start of chemotherapy in females with Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for all female patients, regardless of age, with newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma from 2000 to 2015 at the Hospital for Sick Children. Demographic, disease, and treatment data were captured. Outcome data included completion of pregnancy testing within 2 weeks before the start of therapy and documentation of contraceptive counseling. Results: One hundred twenty-two female patients with Hodgkin lymphoma between the ages of 5 and 17 years were identified. Sixty patients (49%) had β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) testing done before the start of therapy. Testing modalities included serum and urine qualitative and serum quantitative β-HCG tests. Older age (p < 0.01), documentation of menstrual status (p = 0.02), and diagnosis between 2008 and 2015 (p < 0.01) were associated with higher incidence of screening, although enrollment on a therapeutic trial was not (p = 0.37). Contraceptive counseling was documented for 19 patients (16%), and 11 patients (9%) were prescribed contraceptive medications. Conclusion: Prechemotherapy pregnancy screening was completed on less than half of females with Hodgkin lymphoma. The adoption of strategies to improve the consistency of pregnancy screening is required.

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.
