A complicated Glenn procedure: risk factors and association with adverse long-term neurodevelopmental and functional outcomes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Objectives: To determine potentially modifiable risk factors for a complicated Glenn procedure (cGP) and whether a cGP predicted adverse neurodevelopmental and functional outcomes. A cGP was defined as post-operative death, heart transplant, extracorporeal life support, Glenn takedown, or prolonged ventilation. Methods: All 169 patients having a Glenn procedure from 2012 to 2017 were included. Neurodevelopmental assessments were performed at age 2 years in consenting survivors (n = 156/159 survivors). The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-3rd Edition (Bayley-III) and the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-2nd Edition (ABAS-II) were administered. Adaptive functional outcomes were determined by the General Adaptive Composite (GAC) score from the ABAS-II. Predictors of outcomes were determined using univariate and multiple variable linear or Cox regressions. Results: Of patients who had a Glenn procedure, 10/169 (6%) died by 2 years of age and 27/169 (16%) had a cGP. Variables statistically significantly associated with a cGP were the inotrope score on post-operative day 1 (HR 1.04, 95%CI 1.01, 1.06; p = 0.010) and use of inhaled nitric oxide post-operatively (HR 7.31, 95%CI 3.19, 16.76; p < 0.001). A cGP was independently statistically significantly associated with adverse Bayley-III Cognitive (ES −10.60, 95%CI −17.09, −4.11; p = 0.002) and Language (ES −11.43, 95%CI −19.25, −3.60; p = 0.004) scores and adverse GAC score (ES −14.89, 95%CI −22.86, −6.92; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Higher inotrope score and inhaled nitric oxide used post-operatively were associated with a cGP. A cGP was independently associated with adverse 2-year neurodevelopmental and functional outcomes. Whether early recognition and intervention for risk of a cGP can prevent adverse outcomes warrants study.

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.
