Celiac Disease Symptom Resolution: Effectiveness of the Gluten‐free Diet

Sansotta, Naire, Amirikian, Karine, Guandalini, Stefano, Jericho, Hilary·2018·Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Abstract

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the gluten-free diet (GFD) on gastrointestinal (GI) and extra-intestinal (EI) symptom resolution and identify predictors for persistence of symptoms in all celiac patients at the University of Chicago. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review from 2002 to 2015. GI symptoms included abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, failure to thrive/weight loss, nausea, reflux, and vomiting. EI symptoms included abnormal liver enzymes, arthralgia/arthritis, dermatitis herpetiformis, alopecia, fatigue, headache, anemia, stomatitis, myalgia, psychiatric disorders, rashes, seizures, neuropathy, short stature, delayed puberty, osteoporosis, and infertility. Results A total of 554 patients (227 children) with celiac disease (CeD) were included. Abdominal pain, diarrhea and failure to thrive were the most common GI symptoms in children whereas diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain were most common in adults. Short stature, fatigue, and headache were the most common EI symptoms in children whereas iron deficiency anemia, fatigue, and headache/psychiatric disorders were most common in adults. Children had significantly higher rates of EI and GI symptom resolution as compared to adults, with greater rates of improvements in GI versus EI symptoms at more than 24 months. Long duration of symptoms, female sex, and non-adherence to a GFD were the most important significant predictors of failure to clinically improve.…

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Paediatric patients on a strict gluten-free diet usually show rapid resolution of coeliac disease-related gastrointestinal symptoms (bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weight loss) and extra-intestinal manifestations (anaemia, delayed puberty, stomatitis).

    “Paediatric patients on a strict GFD usually show rapid resolution of CD-related gastrointestinal symptoms, such as bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weight loss, as well as of extra-intestinal manifestations such as anaemia, delayed puberty and stomatitis (20).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
