A meta-analysis of the haemodynamics of primary hypertension in children and adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the relative contributions of elevated cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance to hypertension in children and adults. This included 27 studies on 11 765 hypertensive and normotensive children and adults in whom cardiac output was measured. Cardiac output but not systemic vascular resistance was elevated in hypertensive compared to normotensive children and young adults (difference in means 1.15 [0.78-1.52] l/min, P < 0.001). In older hypertensive adults, both were elevated compared to normotensive individuals (0.40 [0.26-0.55] l/min, P < 0.001 and 3.21 [1.91-4.51] mmHg min/l, P < 0.001 for cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance, respectively). The main haemodynamic alteration in primary hypertension (including obesity-hypertension) in both children and young to middle-aged adults is an elevation of cardiac output. With longer duration and greater severity of hypertension there may be progression from a 'cardiac' to a 'vascular' phenotype with increased systemic vascular resistance.

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.
