Juvenile amyopathic dermatomyositis: results of a case finding descriptive survey.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review the clinical features of juvenile amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM) to define an appropriate approach to its diagnosis and management. METHODS: Based on a review of published adult and pediatric cases, a prevalidated, peer reviewed, 3 page questionnaire was sent to all members of the Pediatric Section of the American College of Rheumatology and American Society for Pediatric Dermatology. RESULTS: Thirty-nine questionnaires were submitted for analysis. Twelve cases were excluded due to abnormal test results. Only one case met all criteria. Although 26 cases were incompletely investigated or had inadequate followup, they were not excluded, as all completed tests were normal. Two patients with incomplete data developed calcinosis. Of 27 patients not positively excluded, 10 were treated systemically, with 5 achieving remission, while 11/17 untreated recovered spontaneously. At a mean followup of 32.8 months from disease onset none of the 27 patients has developed clinical myopathy. CONCLUSION: The classic skin changes of juvenile DM can occur in the absence of clinical muscle involvement. Physicians are not routinely performing electromyography, muscle biopsy, or magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of these patients. A significant proportion of patients with ADM will remit without systemic therapy. Optimum treatment needs to be determined through controlled trials.

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.
