Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Are Unaware of the Impact of Smoking on Their Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGOUND: Tobacco is one of the most significant risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). GOALS: The main objective was to assess the knowledge of patients with IBD regarding the effects of tobacco on their disease. Secondary objectives were to determine the source of their knowledge, the influence of their knowledge on their intent to quit smoking, and the association between patients' characteristics and their knowledge. STUDY: Patients with IBD completed a self-administered questionnaire on demographic data, severity of disease, and effects of tobacco on their disease. RESULTS: In total 259 patients [182 with Crohn's disease, 77 with ulcerative colitis (UC)] participated. The prevalence of current smokers, exsmokers, and nonsmokers was 19.6%, 40.2%, and 40.2%, respectively. Patients with Crohn's disease were more aware of the effects of tobacco on their disease compared with those with UC (57.7% vs. 13.0%, P<0.0001). In informed patients, the main source of information was the gastroenterologist (56.9%). The intent to quit smoking was superior in informed patients compared with those uninformed (78.6% vs. 47.8%, P=0.046). Older patients (odds ratio=0.97, P=0.01) and patients with UC (odds ratio=0.11, P<0.0001) were less likely to be informed. CONCLUSIONS: Only half of patients with IBD are aware of the risks of smoking associated with their disease, whereas their intent to quit smoking is directly related to their awareness. In the scope of IBD's treatment, management of smoking cessation should be undertaken in all smokers.

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.
