Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of our current transition process on clinical outcomes in adolescent patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). DESIGN AND METHODS: Two groups of patients with IBD diagnosed in pediatric care were compared retrospectively: Group A patients did not attend the transition process, while Group B patients entered the planned transition service. Outcomes at 1-year after transfer to adult care were evaluated. RESULTS: Forty-five patients with IBD diagnosed under the age of 18 years were identified of whom 35 had Crohn's disease and 10 had ulcerative colitis. Twenty-four patients were in Group A (without transition), and 21 patients in Group B (with at least one planned transition visit). Mean age at diagnosis was 15.1 ± 2.2 and 13.7 ± 3.0 years (p = 0.086), respectively. There were no significant differences in disease duration before transfer, Montreal classification at diagnosis, body mass index, anti-TNF therapy usage, and disease status at transfer between the two groups. A significantly higher number of Group B patients were in remission at 12 months after transfer when compared to patients in Group A (11 vs. 18, respectively, p = 0.037). There was a significant difference between groups regarding the number of scheduled visits within the examined period (9 vs. 16, p = 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Planned transition visits resulted in higher disease remission rate at 1-year follow-up after transfer from pediatric to adult health care system in adolescent patients with IBD. PRACTICE IMPLICATION: Well-established transition programs in IBD are needed.

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
