Abstract
Abstract PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the effect of botulinum toxin (BT) injection on the treatment of infantile and partially accommodative esotropia (PAET). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included patients who received BT injections for infantile and PAET between January 2015 and December 2018. Treatment was considered successful if orthotropia, consecutive exotropia, or esotropia within 10 prism diopters (PD) was achieved. RESULTS: The overall success rate was 47.4%, with a mean follow-up period of 27.8 months in 403 children. BT treatment was considered successful in 37.1% of cases of infantile esotropia and 53.1% of cases of partially accommodative esotropia. The average deviation angle before starting treatment was 35.5 ± 13.9 PD. Side effects 1 week after BT injections included transient overcorrection (63.8%) and transient ptosis (41.7%). There were no significant differences in the success rates between the different doses of BT ( P = 0.69). The angle of deviation at presentation was significantly associated with the success rate of BT injection (failed group, mean: 38.1 ± 15.3 PD vs. success group, mean: 32.6 ± 11.6 PD; P < 0.001). Other factors associated with higher success rates were overcorrection at 1 week and PAET, while multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a smaller angle of deviation and overcorrection (1 week after injection) were associated with a higher success rate. CONCLUSION: A smaller angle of deviation and transient overcorrection were associated with a higher success rate, and no significant difference was observed in the success rates of different BT doses.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
