Abstract
There has been increasing interest in quality of life outcomes, but there has been little reported on this topic for individuals with contact dermatitis. The objectives of this study were (i) to pilot a dermatology-specific quality of life instrument to assess its acceptability in a patch test clinic population, (ii) to see the effects of contact dermatitis on the patients' lives and (iii) to determine what factors may influence quality of life outcomes in this population. A dermatology-specific quality of life instrument was modified and used for 339 patients undergoing patch testing in a contact dermatitis clinic. The most common effect was pain or itching in 61%. Approximately 1/3 noted embarrassment, interference with work, or sleep disturbance. Other concerns were reported by less than 25% of the population. On multivariate analysis, the key factor influencing most outcomes was hand involvement. The instrument was well accepted by the clinic population and is now being used in a prospective study of outcomes. In the population assessed, it demonstrated the effects of disease. Analysis suggests that a key factor influencing these quality of life outcomes is hand involvement.

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
