Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are debilitating chronic intestinal diseases requiring extensive medical intervention. Little is known how IBD symptoms and treatments affect menopause experience and quality of life. The study's goal was to investigate the relationship between IBD and menopause. METHOD: Women with IBD, between the ages of 30 and 65 years, were recruited from an outpatient IBD clinic. They completed surveys on obstetric, medical, and IBD history and clinical disease activity. Quality of life was assessed using the validated menopause-specific quality of life (MENQOL) questionnaire. RESULTS: Seventy-one women (47 Crohn's disease, 22 ulcerative colitis, and two indeterminate colitis, median age 45 years) enrolled into the study. Younger age of IBD diagnosis was correlated with younger age of last menstrual period (r = 0.697). IBD severity affected menopause-related quality of life in three MENQOL domains (psychosocial, physical, and sexual); the fourth domain (vasomotor) did not appear to be affected by the severity of IBD clinical disease. CONCLUSION: Women with IBD may experience additional challenges when going through the menopause transition. Our findings support the need for further studies to better inform patients and clinicians on the relationship between IBD and menopause to optimize patient care.

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
