Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Ex Input:
We designed an assessment and education program which was delivered to patients prior to first outpatient appointment for bariatric surgery. We hypothesised that this program would streamline care and would lead to improved weight loss following bariatric surgery.', 'The program incorporates a structured general practitioners (GP) review, a patient information evening and an on-line learning package. It was introduced in September 2012. Patient flow through the program was recorded. Outcomes of the new program were compared with contemporaneously treated patients who did not undertake the pre-hospital program.', 'All 636 patients on the waiting list for first appointment at the Alfred Health bariatric surgery clinic were invited to participate. There were 400 patients ultimately removed from the waiting list for first appointment. Of the remaining 236 patients, 229 consented to participate in the new program. The mean BMI was 47.8\u2009±\u20099.2. The fail to attend first appointment rate dropped from 12 to 2.1\xa0%. At 12\xa0months post-bariatric surgery, patients who undertook the new program (n\u2009=\u200982) had a mean excess weight loss (EWL) of 41.1\u2009±\u200920.3\xa0% where as those treated on the standard pathway (n\u2009=\u200961) had a mean EWL 32\u2009±\u200918.0\xa0% (p\u2009=\u20090.012).

Ex Input:
Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) degrades the essential amino acid tryptophan and has been shown to minimize rejection in animal models of renal transplantation. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is unavoidable in renal transplantation and correlates with shorter graft survival times. Despite its favorable effects on rejection, there is evidence that IDO may facilitate renal IRI. Differentiating the negative impact of IDO on IRI from its pro-tolerant effects in allograft rejection is of clinical relevance. In these studies we hypothesized that constitutive IDO activity may influence renal genes associated with recovery from IRI, and that IDO inhibition may unmask these effects.', 'We examined the renal transcriptome in a rat model of IRI with and without IDO inhibition with 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (1-MT), and assessed for alterations in the gene expression signature.', 'These studies demonstrated that during recovery from renal IRI, pre-treatment with 1-MT alleviated alterations in 105 coding sequences associated with IRI, and in turn triggered new changes in 66 non-coding transcripts, the majority of which were represented by small nucleolar RNA.

Ex Input:
Irinotecan (CPT-11), a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent, can cause severe neutropenia and diarrhea. The area under the curve of plasma levels over time of SN-38, an active metabolite of CPT-11, was previously reported to correlate with the pre-treatment serum total bilirubin level (PTB). However, there are no established criteria for selecting CPT-11 dose on the basis of PTB. Therefore, we evaluated PTB as an indicator for the optimal CPT-11 dose.', 'Retrospective analyses were conducted in patients administered CPT-11 as a single agent at the Osaka National Hospital from June 2006 to July 2013. Data obtained during the first 28 days following CPT-11 administration were analyzed to compare PTB between patients with and without grade 3-4 neutropenia and grade 3-4 diarrhea. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal PTB cutoff value for PTB-associated toxicity. Subgroup analysis was performed comparing the incidence of toxicity in patients with PTB values below or above the cutoff value.', 'Although PTB incidence was significantly higher in patients who developed grade 3-4 neutropenia than in those who did not, PTB was not associated with grade 3-4 diarrhea. The PTB cutoff value for association with grade 3-4 neutropenia occurrence was set at 0.8 mg/dL. The incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) significantly elevated to 21% in patients with PTB ≥0.8 mg/dL, whereas that of patients with PTB <0.8 mg/dL was 4%. In the subgroup analysis, no difference was found in the neutropenia incidence between patients treated with a dose below 80 mg/m(2) and those treated on a weekly schedule.
