Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Skeletal Outcomes After Bisphosphonate Discontinuation at Final Height
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intravenous cyclical bisphosphonates are widely used to treat children with moderate to severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Bisphosphonates are often discontinued when growth is completed, but subsequent skeletal changes have not been studied in detail. We assessed 31 patients (22 females) with OI who had started intravenous bisphosphonates (either pamidronate or zoledronic acid) before 13 years of age, were treated for at least 2 years (range 4.7-15.7 years), and discontinued treatment after completion of growth, when their age ranged from 13.4 to 20.0 years (mean 16.4 years). At 4 years after treatment discontinuation, lumbar spine areal bone mineral density (BMD) had increased by 4% (p < 0.05). Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the radius showed a decrease in trabecular volumetric BMD at the distal metaphysis of 19% but an increase in cortical volumetric BMD of 4% (p < 0.05 for both). None of the patients sustained a new vertebral compression fracture during follow-up. The proportion of patients with new long-bone fractures was higher in the 2 years before treatment discontinuation than in the last 2 years of follow-up (42% and 16%, respectively; p < 0.05). © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
