Comparison of carotid intima-media thickness and cognitive function in systemic lupus erythematosus patients versus healthy subjects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients tend to have accelerated atherosclerosis. It mayhave a role in the impairment of cognitive function related to a decrease in cerebrovascular blood flow. Methods Sixty SLE patients and 61 healthy subjects as participants underwent: history taking, physicalexamination, blood examination, medication, carotid Doppler ultrasound test, and cognitive function test.We compared Carotid Intima-media Thickness (CIMT) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment IndonesianVersion (MoCA-Ina) scores of the two groups. Result The comparison of the total MoCA-Ina scores between the two groups was not statistically significant ( p = .332). However, the orientation domain in the SLE group was statistically lower than the HS group (5.83 ± 0.41 vs 6 ± 0.00, p = .002). The SLE group was found to have a thicker anterior and posterior IMT of right carotid artery ( p < .001, p = .031) and a thicker anterior IMT of left carotid artery ( p < .001). There was a significant inverse correlation between the total MoCA-Ina score and the posterior IMT of the left carotid artery (r = −0.272, p = .035) of SLE patients. Atherosclerosis plaque of the right carotid artery was not associated with total MoCA-Ina score; however, there was a significant association with the attention domain ( p = .023) and the visuospatial domain of MoCA-Ina ( p = .018). Conclusion SLE patients have lower orientation domain of MoCA-Ina and thicker CIMT than healthy subjects. Atherosclerosis plaque of the carotid artery was associated with attention and visuospatial domains of MoCA-Ina.

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.
