Neuromuscular dysfunction and associated health/socioeconomic outcomes: A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
10546 Background: Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for neuromuscular dysfunction. We estimated the prevalence and cumulative incidence of neuromuscular dysfunction in a cohort of childhood cancer survivors and examined associations with treatment exposures and health/socioeconomic outcomes. Methods: CCSS participants ≥5 years from cancer diagnosed between 1970-1999 (n = 25,583, 46.5% female, median [range] age 54.4 [15.1-57.6] years) and siblings (n = 5,044, 52.3% female, median [range] age 54.1 [32.5-57.0] years) were included. Neuromuscular dysfunction was identified by self-report of 1) motor dysfunction: impaired balance, tremor, or extremity weakness; 2) sensory dysfunction: impaired touch sensation. Multivariable analyses examined predictors of dysfunction by diagnosis. Results: Cumulative incidence of neuromuscular dysfunction was elevated at 20 years from diagnosis in survivors (24.3%, 95% CI 23.8-24.8; motor 18.2%, sensory 13.5%) versus siblings (8.9%, 95% CI 8.1-9.7). In survivors five years from diagnosis, motor dysfunction was associated with exposure to cytarabine (OR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.10-1.77) and spinal radiation (OR = 2.11, 95% CI 1.31-3.41) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia/non-hodgkin lymphoma (ALL/NHL), vinca alkaloids (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.03-1.60) and brain radiation (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.35-1.85) in central nervous system tumors, and cytarabine (OR = 3.73, 95% CI 1.62-8.57) and non-brain/spine radiation (OR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.42-2.40) in bone/soft tissue tumors. Sensory dysfunction was associated with exposure to vinca alkaloids (OR = 3.45, 95% CI 1.06-11.22) in ALL/NHL, and platinum agents (OR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.03-1.67) and spinal radiation (OR = 3.71, 95% CI 1.24-11.11) in bone/soft tissue tumors. Survivors with neuromuscular dysfunction were at increased risk for adverse health/socioeconomic outcomes (Table). Conclusions: Neuromuscular dysfunction is a prevalent morbidity in childhood cancer survivors, associated with specific therapies within a particular diagnosis. Interventions are needed to identify and improve neuromuscular dysfunction given its association with adverse health/socioeconomic outcomes. [Table: see text]

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.
