Long-term psychiatric outcomes in youth with enterovirus A71 central nervous system involvement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Long-term neurological and neurodevelopmental sequelae are a concerning issue for people with Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) central nervous system (CNS) infection. Unfortunately, no longitudinal prospective clinical study has systematically investigated the consequences of EV-A71 CNS infection during early life on the later development of other psychiatric disorders. In this naturalistic longitudinal follow-up design, we followed forty-three youth, who got EV-A71 CNS involvement 6-18 years ago and were enrolled in other EV-A71 clinical studies then. Their psychiatric presentation, emotional/behavioral problems, and cognitive issues were examined using a psychiatrist-conducted diagnostic interview, parent- and self-rated questionnaires, and neuropsychological tests, respectively. We compared the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in youth with EV-A71 CNS involvement to a nationally representative cohort. Emotion/behavior and cognition in EV-A71-CNS-infected youth were compared to those in a matched community-based sample of healthy controls and youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Compared to a national sample (absolute ADHD prevalence 10.1%), youth with EV-A71 CNS involvement had three times the odds of receiving an ADHD diagnosis (standardized prevalence ratio, 95% CI = 1.8, 4.2; absolute ADHD prevalence 34.9%). No other psychiatric diagnoses were more common in EV-A71-CNS-infected youth. Compared to community-based ADHD youth, EV-A71-CNS-infected youth with psychiatric disorders showed comparable core ADHD symptoms, opposition/defiance, autistic features, and suboptimal sustained attention performance (based on the Conners' Continuous Performance Test), all of which were more severe than healthy controls. EV-A71-CNS-infected youth without psychiatric disorders showed comparable autistic features to EV-A71-CNS-infected youth with psychiatric disorders and ADHD youth. EV-A71 CNS involvement may cause long-term, adverse psychiatric outcomes that develop into an ADHD diagnosis alongside social/communication/emotion problems and autistic features. We recommend earlier identification and intervention of these problems among these children.

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.
