Influence of the 2012 European Guidelines in Diagnosis and Follow‐up of Coeliac Children With Selective IgA Deficiency
Abstract
Objectives The aim of the study was to describe diagnostic criteria used in children with coeliac disease (CD) and selective IgA deficiency; to determine if the publication of the 2012 ESPGHAN criteria prompted any changes; to evaluate the evolution of serological markers. Methods Multicenter, retrospective, descriptive study of a cohort of children under 15 years with selective IgA deficiency diagnosed with CD (January 2006 to December 2016). Demographic, clinical, genetic, histological and IgG-based antibodies were collected at diagnosis and follow-up. Results Eighty-six children were included, 60 diagnosed after the guide. Two groups were established: G1 (n = 63) and G2 (n = 23) with or without diagnostic biopsy respectively. In G1: 87.3% were symptomatic, 87.3% had human leukocyte antigan (HLA) DQ2/DQ8 typing (all positive), all had IgG serology positive (71.5% ATG, 35% EMA, 19% DPG, 9.5% AGA), and all had villous atrophy (Marsh-Oberhuber 2-3). Follow-up data were available in 58 children, 34 after 2 years on a gluten-free diet. Fifty-two percentage remained ATG IgG-positive despite good dietary adherence and symptom remission. Regarding G2: all were diagnosed post-2012, had typical symptoms, HLA DQ2/DQ8 positive and ATG IgG × 10 ULN. Additionally, EMA IgG was performed in 14 (60%), all positive. Conclusions In our cohort of children with selective IgA deficiency and diagnosed with CD, children without a diagnostic biopsy suggests that IgG serology was considered the equi…

Studies show prolonged recovery time of serological and mucosal changes after introduction of a GFD during follow-up, with half of IgA deficient CD patients having elevated serum IgG specific CD antibodies after two years on a GFD.

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.
