Psychiatric Morbidity Is Common Among Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A National Matched Cohort Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic rheumatic disease that causes joint inflammation and pain. Previous studies have indicated affected mental health and increased risk of psychiatric conditions among patients with JIA. We aimed to explore differences in psychiatric morbidity between children with JIA and their peers. We further studied if parental socioeconomic status (SES) influences the association between JIA and the risk of psychiatric morbidity. METHODS: We used a matched cohort design to estimate the association between JIA and psychiatric disease. Children with JIA, born between 1995 and 2014, were identified in Danish national registers. Based on birth registers, we randomly selected 100 age- and sex-matched children per index child. Index date was the date of the fifth JIA diagnosis code or the date of matching for reference children. End of follow-up was the date of psychiatric diagnosis, death, emigration, or December 31, 2018, whatever came first. Data were analyzed using a Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS: We identified 2086 children with JIA with a mean age at diagnosis of 8.1 years. Children with JIA had a 17% higher instantaneous risk of a psychiatric diagnosis when compared with the reference group, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.17 (95% CI 1.02-1.34). Relevant associations were found only for depression and adjustment disorders. Stratifying our analysis for SES showed no modifying effect of SES. CONCLUSION: Children with JIA had a higher risk of psychiatric diagnoses compared to their peers, especially diagnoses of depression and adjustment disorders. The association between JIA and psychiatric disease did not depend on parental SES.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
