Abstract
Extraintestinal manifestations are common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), being reported in over 25% of patients. Ocular complications of IBD occur in around 10% of cases, but may precede systemic symptoms and are usually nonspecific. Complications of therapy, such as cataracts or glaucoma from steroid use or keratoconjunctivitis sicca related to 5-aminosalicylic acid medications, may also involve the eyes. The pathogenesis remains unclear, but factors such as the extent of intestinal disease, disease activity, and the presence of associated arthritis have been associated with ocular involvement. Conjunctivitis, episcleritis, scleritis and uveitis are by far the most common ophthalmic complications of IBD. However, posterior uveitis, intraretinal hemorrhages, vasculitis, choroiditis, optic neuropathy, and vaso-occlusive phenomena may also occur. The most frequent severe ocular manifestation is anterior uveitis (more common in women). It usually presents as a mild anterior nongranulomatous uveitis (60% of the cases). The inflammation in the eye and the inflammation in the gut are rarely correlated. Patients with uveitis, scleritis, and other anterior segment inflammation usually respond to steroids (topical, periocular or systemic). If the inflammation is resistant to steroids, or if appreciable steroid adverse effects are encountered, systemic immunosuppressive treatment should be considered; this is more likely in HLA-B27-positive patients with uveitis. Evaluation of the eye should be a routine component in the care of patients with IBD.

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
