Abstract
BackgroundTo determine the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan 97/103 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) on tolerability, safety, and quality of life (QoL) in Canadian patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in a real-life setting.MethodsIn Prospective, Multicenter, Open Label, Post-Approval Study Aimed at Characterizing the Use of LCZ696 at 97 mg Sacubitril/103 mg Valsartan bid in Patients With HFrEF (PARASAIL), an open-label, prospective, phase IV, multicentre study, outpatients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and New York Heart Association functional class II-III were followed up for 12 months. The suggested starting dose of sacubitril/valsartan was 24/26 mg b.i.d. replacing angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, with an uptitration to 97/103 mg b.i.d. or as per clinical judgement. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving the target dose of sacubitril/valsartan 97/103 mg b.i.d. after 6 months of treatment.ResultsFor the 302 patients included, the mean age was 64.47 years, and a majority of patients (82.8%) belonged to New York Heart Association class II. Overall, 195 (64.6%) patients were on maximum dose of sacubitril/valsartan 97/103 mg b.i.d. after 6 months and 62.3% remained on this dose at month 12. Using patient global assessment, patients experienced an improvement in QoL. For Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire scores, a significant decrease from the baseline was observed at weeks 4, 12, and 24 (P < 0.0001 for all), which indicated an improvement in QoL. The patient global assessment and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire results correlate with moderate but significant changes in Euro quality of life-5D visual analogue scale scores.ConclusionsResults of the PARASAIL study in a real-life setting have shown that most patients were on sacubitril/valsartan 97/103 mg b.i.d. and the treatment was well tolerated. The patient-reported outcomes showed an overall improvement in patients’ QoL.

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
