Comparison of clinical and laboratory features between patients with ankylosing spondylitis and non-radiolographic axial spondyloarthritis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective To analyze and compare the clinical and laboratory features between patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA). Methods One hundred and forty-one patients with AS and 73 cases with nr-axSpA were recruited. Clinical and laboratory indexes of individuals were recorded in detail, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) crp were calculated. Spondyloarthritis research consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score standard was used to evaluate the degree of bone marrow edema in sacr-oiliac joint under magnetic resonance imaging scanning. T test, rank test and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results The average age of patients with AS was obviously higher than that of patients with nr-axSpA (t=4.962, P 0.05). 21.6% (21 cases) of patients with AS had peripheral swollen joints, which was higher than that in nr-axSpA (2.2%, χ2=8.861, P=0.003). Forty cases in AS had tender joints (41.2%), only 6 patients in nr-axSpA had tender joints (13.3%, χ2=11.458, P 0.05). Percentage of patients with occipit-to-wall distance higher than 0 cm in AS was higher than that in nr-axSpA, and the mean distance of fingers to ground in AS was also higher than that in nr-axSpA (χ2=19.844, P<0.01; Z=5.724, P<0.01). Chest expansion degree and Schboer's test in AS was much lower than that in nr-axSpA, respectively (Z=3.083, P=0.002; Z=5.103, P<0.01). BASFI in AS was higher than that in nr-axSpA (Z=5.840, P<0.01). The ratio of joint function in AS was obviously worse than that in nr-axSpA (χ2=11.369, P=0.01). Conclusion Compared to patients with nr-axSpA, AS patients are male predominant, and have severer inflammation in clinical and laboratory findings and are worse in functional status. Key words: Spondylitis, ankylosing; Disease attributes; Nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis

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.
