Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background<p>Atrial fibrillation (AF) is related to an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction. Besides clinically overt stroke, AF can damage the brain via several pathophysiological mechanisms. We aimed to assess the potential mediating role of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and cognitive performance in individuals with AF.</p>Methods<p>Stroke-free individuals with AF from the cardiological outpatient clinic at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were recruited. Extensive neuropsychological testing tools were assessed including global function, domains of attention, executive functions, learning, and memory. 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for SVD markers assessment of white matter hyperintensities (WMH), lacunes, cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS). The correlation between SVD markers and cognitive measures was analyzed by multivariate linear regression models.</p>Results<p>We finally enrolled 158 participants, of whom 95 (60.1%) were males. In multivariate models, the presence of lacunes independently associated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Model 1: ß = 0.52, Model 2: ß = 0.55), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test-immediate and delayed recall (Model 1: ß = 0.49; ß = 0.69; Model 2: ß = 0.53; ß = 0.73) as well as Stroop-A<sub>correct</sub> (Model 1: ß = 0.12; Model 2: ß = 0.13), while total WMH severity independently associated with Stroop<sub>time</sub>-A (Model 1: ß = 0.24; Model 3: ß = 0.27), Stroop<sub>time</sub>-B (Model 1: ß = 0.17; Model 3: ß = 0.17), Stroop<sub>time</sub>-C (Model 1: ß = 0.22; Model 3: ß = 0.21) and Shape Trail Test-A (Model 1: ß = 0.17; Model 3: ß = 0.16).</p>Conclusion<p>In our cohort of stroke-free individuals with AF, lacunes, and WMHs were independently associated with cognitive decline while EPVS and CMBs did not show significance. Assessment of SVD MRI markers might be valuable for cognition risk stratification and facilitate optimal management of patients with AF.</p>

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
