The Increased Risk of Thromboembolic Events in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article published in The Journal by Luque Ramos, et al 1, in which the comorbidities of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are detailed, explaining specifically the thromboembolic processes. The authors mentioned that the risk was double in patients with RA compared to controls. We present 2 cases in which the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism was made in patients whose only known risk factor was RA. It has been widely studied and shown that patients with systemic inflammatory diseases such as RA have a higher risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases than the healthy population. However, it is postulated that chronic inflammation favors a procoagulant state, which leads to a higher incidence of thromboembolic diseases. This hypothesis has been shown retrospectively, assessing … Address correspondence to Dr. J.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
