Accomplishment of instrumental activities of daily living and its relationship with cognitive functions in adults with myotonic dystrophy type 1 childhood phenotype: an exploratory study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The childhood phenotype of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) involves impaired cognitive functioning starting in infancy, which may compromise later on their ability to carry out instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) necessary for living independently. The current study aims to document the ability to perform IADLs among adults with the childhood phenotype of DM1 and to explore its links to cognitive functioning. METHODS: This cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted among 11 individuals living with DM1. IADLs related to money management, home management & transportation and health & safety activities were assessed by the Independent Living Scale (ILS). Neuropsychological tests assessed participants' intellectual abilities and executive functioning. Associations were investigated using Spearman's rho correlation. RESULTS: Important difficulties were found in all three categories of IADLs, mostly in money management in which only 2/11 participants were scored as independent. 8/11 participants showed low to very low intellectual functioning and limit to impaired executive functioning. Apathy was also a common feature as 5/11 participants showed clinical level of apathy. A lower IQ was associated with greater difficulty in the home management & transportation subtest of the ILS. CONCLUSIONS: Adults with the childhood phenotype of DM1 demonstrate relative dependence in regard to the following IADLs: money management and home management & transportation. Level of dependence is, at least partially, associated with cognitive impairments. The work relates to results from an exploratory study; thus, studies must be pursued to describe in more details difficulties experienced by this population.

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.
