Abstract
Patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) have been under-represented in studies about safety of the COVID-19 immunization. We aimed to inquire about the safety and tolerability of COVID-19 immunization in this population. An anonymous online survey on closed Facebook groups for patients and parents with self-reported sJIA/AOSD was posted from June 27th until August 30th, 2022. Continuous variables were analyzed using t-tests or the Mann-Whitney U test if non-normally distributed. Fisher`s tests were used for categorical variables. Of a total of 167 responses, 17 were excluded. Ninety-nine patients received the COVID-19 immunization, and 51 patients did not. Patients in both immunized and unimmunized groups had a similar history of disease complications such as macrophage activation syndrome (50% vs. 49%), lung disease (17% vs. 29%), arthritis (51% vs. 50%), and pericarditis/myocarditis (10% vs. 8%). Unimmunized patients were younger (median age 8 yo vs. 12 yo, p < 0.001) and had a higher incidence of a history of disease flare or severe side effects with other immunizations (24% vs. 4%, p < 0.001). Thirty-nine patients reported mostly mild immunization side effects. Severe side effects included 6 reports of disease flare and 2 reports of cardiac side effects (pericarditis and atrial fibrillation). Seven patients reported side effects lasting ≥ 8 days. Three patients developed AOSD following COVID-19 immunization, and 2 of them had the only hospital admissions for immunization side effects. Regarding COVID-19 infection, 46 patients were infected without full immunization, and 33 were infected after 2 doses of immunization. There was one hospitalization in the immunized group, compared to one ICU admission leading to death in the non-immunized group. There was a trend (p > 0.05) toward a higher risk of disease flare after COVID-19 infection among non-immunized patients (43%), compared to immunized patients (24%). The COVID-19 immunization was well tolerated by sJIA/AOSD patients even in this group of patients with severe disease. There was a low incidence of disease flare with immunization. Most immunization side effects were mild and lasted < 7 days. The only ICU admission and death from COVID-19 infection occurred in unimmunized subjects.

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.
