Use of Metoclopramide in Preterm Infants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
6 preterm infants with birth weights ranging from 790 to 1,040 g and gestational ages of 26-35 weeks were given metoclopramide at a mean postnatal age of 35 days. The infants were selected only after fulfilling rigid clinical criteria. All infants were spontaneously breathing and were on parenteral nutrition with 3% Vamin and 10% Neutralipid. Metoclopramide, 0.1 mg/kg/day, was given intravenously in three divided doses. Progress was monitored using abdominal girth, gastric residual aspirate before each feed, intestinal transit times, daily weight gain, number of episodes of vomiting or regurgitation and assessment of tolerance to increasing amounts of feeds. Excellent response was seen in all infants. Withdrawal of the drug led to prompt recurrence of all symptoms and signs which again disappeared on reinstitution of the medication. No untoward side-effects were noted during the administration of the drug. We conclude that, in selected cases, metoclopramide may be used for persistent functional feeding intolerance and gastric stasis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
