Abstract
Objectives To determine guideline adherence pertaining to pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) referral after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. Methods Children and adults with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging scans and at least moderate pulmonary regurgitation were prospectively enrolled in the Comprehensive Outcomes Registry Late After TOF Repair (CORRELATE). Individuals with previous PVR were excluded. Patients were classified according to presence (+) versus absence (−) of PVR and presence (+) versus absence (−) of contemporaneous guideline satisfaction. A validated score (specific activity scale [SAS]) classified adult symptom status. Results In total, 498 participants (57% male, mean age 32 ± 14 years) were enrolled from 14 Canadian centers (2013-2020). Mean follow-up was 3.8 ± 1.8 years. Guideline criteria for PVR were satisfied for the majority (n = 422/498, 85%), although referral for PVR occurred only in a minority (n = 167/498, 34%). At PVR referral, most were asymptomatic (75% in SAS class 1). One participant (0.6%) received PVR without meeting criteria (PVR+/indication–). The remainder (n = 75/498, 15%) did not meet criteria for and did not receive PVR (PVR–/indication–). Abnormal cardiovascular imaging was the most commonly cited indication for PVR (n = 61/123, 50%). The SAS class and ratio of right to left end-diastolic volumes were independent predictors of PVR in a multivariable analysis (hazard ratio, 3.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.92-5.8, P < .0001; hazard ratio, 2.78; 95% confidence interval, 2.18-3.55, P < .0001). Conclusions Although a majority of patients met guideline criteria for PVR, only a minority were referred for intervention. Abnormal cardiovascular imaging was the most common indication for referral. Further research will be necessary to establish the longer-term clinical impact of varying PVR referral strategies.

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
