Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Trimetazidine (TMZ) has been shown to be efficacious for angina treatment. The TMZ 80-mg formulation allows one-daily (od) dosage, which could improve symptom control and adherence. METHODS: The 3-month, observational, multicenter, prospective ODA (antianginal effectiveness and tolerability of trimetazidine modified release 80 mg Once Daily in stable Angina patients in real-world practice) study assessed TMZ 80 mg od effectiveness in stable angina patients with persistent symptoms despite therapy. Two clinical situations were compared: patients who initiated treatment with TMZ 80 mg od (initiation group) and patients who were previously treated with TMZ 20 mg thrice daily (tid) or TMZ 35 mg MR twice daily (bid) and switched to TMZ 80 mg od (switch group). Number of angina attacks, short-acting nitrate (SAN) consumption, self-reported patient daily activity, Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class, adherence to antianginal therapy, overall efficacy and tolerability were assessed. RESULTS: A significant decrease in weekly number of angina attacks was observed for both the initiation group (n = 1841 patients) from 4.8 ± 3.5 at baseline to 0.9 ± 1.4 at 3 months (M3) (P < 0.001), and the switch group (n = 1216 patients) from 4.4 ± 1.3 at baseline to 0.9 ± 1.3 at M3 (P < 0.001). Significant reduction in SAN consumption and improvement in CCS class were observed for both groups. Adherence to antianginal therapy improved in both groups at 1 month (M1) and M3. Overall effectiveness of TMZ 80 mg od was rated by physicians as "very good" (68% initiation group, 70% switch group), "good" (31% initiation group, 29% switch group), "moderate" (1%, both groups) or "poor" (< 1%, both groups). Overall tolerability of TMZ 80 mg od was rated by physicians as "very good" (75%), "good" (25%) or "moderate" (< 1%) in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: TMZ 80 mg od, in association with other antianginal therapy, effectively reduced angina attacks and SAN consumption and improved physical activity and adherence to antianginal therapy both in patients initiating TMZ treatment and those switching from a bid or tid formulation.

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
