Clinical utility of thrombin generation using ST-Genesia® in patients with hereditary and acquired thrombophilia: A cross-sectional study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The role of thrombin generation (TG) in the setting of thrombophilia testing remains unclear. Hence, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic utility of TG with ST-Genesia® instrument to discriminate between patients with and without different thrombophilias. METHODS: We conducted a single-center cross-sectional study of all non-anticoagulated patients who underwent conventional thrombophilia testing for factor V Leiden, prothrombin gene G20210A mutation (PTM), protein C, S and antithrombin deficiency (PCD, PSD, ATD), and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) because of previous venous thromboembolism (VTE), unexplained arterial thrombosis or a positive family history for VTE. To assess the diagnostic utility of TG, we calculated the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC), thresholds for 85 %, 95 % and 99 % sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios, cohort-related diagnostic failure and efficacy rates and the diagnostic yield of each TG parameter for different thrombophilias. RESULTS: A total of 467 patients were enrolled in the study, mostly investigated because of previous VTE (n = 283, 61 %). Thrombophilia testing was positive in 161/467 (35 %) patients. Normalized endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) effectively discriminated for ATD (AUC =79 [95 %CI 72-87]) and PTM (AUC 86 [95 %CI 79-93]) and ETP inhibition with thrombomodulin for PCD/PSD (AUC 90 [95 %CI 85-95]). With the established best performing TG parameter cut-offs, PCD/PSD, PTM, ATD, and low-risk APS could be safely (<3 % failure rate) excluded in 62 %, 58 %, 27 %, and 29 % of cohort patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: TG assessment using ST-Genesia® system shows promise as a supportive screening tool in thrombophilia work-up and warrants further validation.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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
