Supplementary Material for: Cognitive Impairments in Patients with GHB Use Disorder Predict Relapse in GHB Use
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: The recreational use of gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is associated with frequent overdoses, coma and the risk of developing GHB use disorder (GUD). Several studies suggest negative effects of GHB use or related comas on cognition. Since relapse rates are high in GUD and cognitive impairment has been associated with relapse in other substance use disorders, we aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment before and after detoxification, (2) analyse the relationship between GHB use, comas, and cognitive impairment, and (3) explore the association between cognitive impairment and relapse after detoxification in GUD patients. Methods: In these secondary analyses of a prospective cohort study, a consecutive series of patients with GUD (n = 103) admitted for detoxification were recruited at six addiction care facilities in the Netherlands. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to screen for cognitive impairments before and after detoxification. The follow-up duration for the assessment of relapse in GHB use was 3 months. Results: A substantial number of patients with GUD screened positive for cognitive impairment before (56.3%) and after (30.6%) detoxification. Impairment on the MoCA memory domain was most frequent (58.8%). Cognitive impairment was not related to the severity of GUD or number of GHB-induced comas. Logistic regression analysis showed that only the memory score independently predicted relapse. Discussion: Cognitive impairment seems highly prevalent among patients with GUD, possibly related to the risk of relapse. The absence of a relationship between the severity of GUD, level of GHB use, the number of GHB-induced comas, and cognitive impairment suggest that other factors may also contribute to the observed cognitive impairment.

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.
