Post total splenectomy outcome in thalassemia patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Splenectomy in thalassemia patient is indicated in the transfusion-dependent patient when hypersplenism increases blood transfusion requirement, prevents adequate control of body iron with chelation therapy and increased risk for infection.Method: This study was retrospective study aims to evaluate the outcome of splenectomy in pediatric thalassemia patients and its related factor. A total 34 thalassemia patient with post total splenectomy patients was included in this study.  Result: Mean age was 20.7 ± 6.5 years old with majority mild malnutrition (61.8%) and the majority of spleen size Schaffner 6-7 (73.5%). The duration between thalassemia diagnosis and total splenectomy was 6-7 years. Statistical analysis showed significant decreased of mean blood transfusion volume from 4691.4 cc per year to 3764.2 cc per year (p = 0.048), decreased mean blood transfusion volume from 219.6 cc per Kg Body Weight (BW) per year to 125.5 cc per Kg BW per year (p<0.001) and decreased of blood transfusion frequency from 12-14 times per year to 6-8 times per year (p<0.001). There is only one case subcutaneous emphysema as complication after splenectomy.Conclusion: Overall, this study showed total splenectomy improve the outcome of thalassemia with hypersplenism with low rate of complication.

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.
