Adaptation and Validation of the Fear of Blistering Disease Recurrence Inventory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are severe, life-threatening conditions known for their debilitating physical and psychological impacts. The conditions also have a high rate of recurrence, leading to patient distress. This study adapted and validated a widely used measure, the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory - Short Form, for use with patients with AIBDs. METHODS: Adult volunteers (n = 219) with AIBD completed an anonymous online questionnaire battery. In addition to the Fear of Blistering Disease Recurrence Inventory - Short Form (FBDRI-SF), participants provided demographic and disease course information and completed the ultra-brief Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression and Anxiety (PHQ-4). RESULTS: The FBDRI-SF demonstrated excellent psychometric properties. Scores on the FBDRI-SF were associated with disease course, depression, and anxiety, suggesting that it is a valid indicator of clinically significant psychological distress. CONCLUSION: The FBDRI-SF is a brief and useful screen to identify AIBD patients likely to benefit from psychological evaluation and support.

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.
