Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the vitamin D status and its relationship with disease and therapy features and with bone mineral density in women with systemic lupus erythematosus. Non-pregnant systemic lupus erythematosus women with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and vitamin D measurements performed between May 1 2005 and August 31 2006 were studied. In each patient, the lowest T-score of the first dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan during the study period was used. In postmenopausal women, a T-score > or = 1.0 standard deviation was considered normal, between -1.0 and -2.5 standard deviations osteopenia and < or = 2.5 standard deviations osteoporosis; in premenopausal women a T-score > or = 2.5 standard deviations was normal and < or = 2.5 standard deviations defined as reduced bone density. 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels were determined at the time of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. A 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of <80 nmol/L was defined as sub-optimal and a level <40 nmol/L as deficient. Demographic and clinical variables were investigated for association with vitamin D levels by univariate and multivariate analyses. One-hundred and twenty-four systemic lupus erythematosus women had dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans and vitamin D assays performed during the study period. Sub-optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were found in 82 (66.7%) and deficient 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in 22 (17.9%) patients. The disease-related features examined at the time of vitamin D assays or bone mineral density showed no correlation with vitamin D levels by univariate analyses. Neither 25-hydroxyvitamin D nor 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D was associated with bone mineral density status among these patients. A multivariate logistic regression model identified season, cumulative glucocorticoid exposure, and serum creatinine as being associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, whereas ethnicity, glucocorticoid exposure, and serum creatinine were associated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels. In conclusion, sub-optimal vitamin D status is common in women with systemic lupus erythematosus and is related to season, cumulative glucocorticoid dose, and serum creatinine.

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
