Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Rheumatology patients on immunosuppression are at increased risk of invasive pneumococcal disease. There is a multitude of literature highlighting the risk of pneumococcal infection, hospitalization, and even death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in whom incidence of invasive pneumococcal infection is 13 times higher than the general population.1,2,3,4 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has also been deemed an at-risk condition and several other rheumatic diseases including polyarteritis nodosa, scleroderma, and Sjögren syndrome have increased hospitalization rates due to pneumococcal disease.2,3,4 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends 2 different pneumococcal vaccinations—the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23)—for children aged 6 to 18 years and adults with immunocompromising conditions, which includes patients on iatrogenic immunosuppression.5,6 The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology vaccination recommendations state that pneumococcal vaccination should be strongly considered for the majority of patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases.7 The American College of Rheumatology RA treatment guidelines recommend pneumococcal vaccines for all treatment groups.8 Receipt of pneumococcal vaccines by adults and children with chronic inflammatory diseases on immunosuppression is also recommended by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.9 Despite the risk of invasive pneumococcal disease in many rheumatology patients and the pneumococcal vaccination recommendations summarized above, pneumococcal vaccination rates in this population overall are suboptimal, prompting many centers to engage in quality improvement efforts to increase their vaccination rates.10–19 In this issue of The Journal of Rheumatology , Sheth and colleagues … Address correspondence to Dr. J.G.

Not 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.
