Body mass index and mortality following primary graft dysfunction: A Lung Transplant Outcomes Group study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Higher body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of developing primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation; whether BMI is associated with decreased survival after PGD is unknown. We utilized the Lung Transplant Outcomes Group cohort of 1,538 subjects from 2011-2018. We evaluated the association between preoperative BMI and graft survival among subjects with severe PGD using Cox proportional hazards models with linear splines. Models were stratified by center and adjusted for sex, age, Lung Allocation Score, and diagnosis. PGD developed in 383 subjects. Among subjects with PGD, low BMI was associated with increased mortality while high BMI was not associated with differential mortality, compared to normal BMI. Results were similar for 90-day and 1-year survival. While high BMI increases the risk of developing PGD, it does not appear to be associated with survival after PGD. Future work should focus on PGD prevention rather than PGD management in patients with obesity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
