Behaviour Concerns in Preschool Cardiac Surgery Survivors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BackgroundBehavior concerns (BC) are reported in survivors of complex cardiac surgery (CCSx) with inconsistent evidence about health and demographic variables that impact outcomes.MethodsProspective inception-cohort study of infants (without known chromosomal abnormalities) after CCSx from 2001-2017 determined Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-II/III) Parent Rating Scales at 4.5 years. T-scores ≥60 for externalizing, internalizing, and behavioral symptom index (BSI), and ≤40 for adaptive behavior defined BC. Potential predictive variables included demographic, acute care, and health factors after initial CCSx. Multiple logistic regression using purposeful selection method gave Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% confidence Intervals (CI).ResultsSurvivors (n=585; 61% boys, 40% single ventricle) were assessed at median age 55 months [interquartile range 53, 57]. Independent predictors were non-cardiac hospitalizations (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02, 1.19, p=0.015) for externalizing; non-cardiac hospitalizations (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.05, 1.24, p=0.003), female sex (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.04, 2.52, p=0.031), single ventricle (OR 1.82, 95% CI, 1.04, 3.17, p=0.035) for internalizing; non-cardiac hospitalizations (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02, 1.19, p=0.017), SES (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.96, 0.10, p=0.031), years of maternal schooling (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84, 0.10, p=0.04) for adaptive; and extracorporeal life-saving support (OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.01, 3.96, p=0.041) for BSI, indicating more pervasive behaviors.ConclusionsNumber of non-cardiac hospitalizations predicted increased odds of BC and requires further attention. Improving inpatient trauma-informed care experiences and optimizing access to primary care to prevent non-cardiac hospitalization may be modifiable.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
