Abstract
Abstract The SUNFLOWER study was initiated in Japan and South Korea to clarify the course of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia (XLH); delineate its physical, mental, and financial burdens; and collect information on treatment. Here, we report cross-sectional data at the time of patient enrollment to better understand the real-world management and complications in patients with XLH and examine the effect of XLH on quality of life (QOL). This is an ongoing, longitudinal, observational cohort study of patients with a diagnosis of XLH. Data from 147 patients (118 in Japan and 29 in South Korea) were evaluated. In total, 77 children (mean age, 9.7 yr; 67.5% female) and 70 adults (mean age, 37.6 yr; 65.7% female) were enrolled. PHEX gene mutations were confirmed in 46/77 (59.7%) children and 37/70 (52.9%) adults. Most patients in both age groups were receiving a combination of phosphate and active vitamin D at baseline. The mean height Z-score was −2.21 among adults (male: −2.34; female: −2.14). The mean Rickets Severity Score in children was 1.62. Whereas children appeared to have low pain levels (mean revised faces pain scale score, 1.3), adults reported mild-to-moderate pain (mean Brief Pain Inventory pain severity, 2.02). Mean QOL in children (assessed using the 10-item short-form health survey for children) was low, with a score below normative level for physical functioning. In adults, results from the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index indicated the presence of pain, stiffness, and decreased physical function. The respective mean total days/year of work/school non-attendance due to symptoms/complications and management of XLH were 0.7 and 3.0 among adults, and 6.4 and 6.1 among children. Our findings reconfirmed a relationship between disease and QOL in patients with XLH. We anticipate that these data will be important in enabling clinicians to understand the daily reality of patients with XLH.

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
