Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of Takayasu arteritis (TA) in southern Sweden. METHODS: The study area is situated in Skåne, the southernmost county in Sweden (total population December 2011: 983,419, 50.5% women). Patients were identified using clinical registries in all the 5 hospitals and private rheumatology clinics within the study area between the years 1997 and 2011. The diagnosis of TA was confirmed by medical records review. Only patients fulfilling the 1990 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria were included. RESULTS: Thirteen patients (all women) were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 23 years [interquartile range (IQR) 16-38]. Ten patients were diagnosed between 1997 and 2011. The annual incidence rate was estimated to 0.7/million inhabitants (95% CI 0.3-1.2) and 1.5/million among women (95% CI 0.6-2.4). Patients were followed for a median of 9 years (IQR 4-17.5). As of January 1, 2012, all 13 patients were alive and living within the study area. The point prevalence per million inhabitants was 13.2 (95% CI 6.0-20.4), and 26.2 among women (95% CI 11.9-40.4). Subclavian arteries were the most commonly affected vessels. Organ damage was common, affecting all patients. Seven pregnancies resulting in 5 live births and 2 abortions were registered after the diagnosis of TA. CONCLUSION: The incidence of TA in Sweden is comparable to recently reported rates from other European studies, while the prevalence is higher than previously reported. The prognosis of TA is good, but the rate of damage is high.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
