Abstract
Fatigue is increasingly recognized as a major complaint in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although fatigue is assumed to represent a significant problem in celiac disease, existing knowledge is scarce, and opinions are conflicting. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and severity of fatigue in patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease and compare it with healthy control subjects. Ninety patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease were compared with 90 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. The primary endpoints were fatigue severity as measured by: the fatigue Visual Analog Scale (fVAS), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the inverted Vitality subscale of the MOS36 (SF-36vs). Higher scores indicate more severe fatigue. Clinically relevant fatigue was determined using predefined cut-off values. Secondary endpoints were the associations between fatigue, and sex, age, depression, pain, and selected biochemical variables. The median (IQR) fVAS-scores were 43.0 (18.0–64.5) in patients, and 9.0 (2.0–16.0) in the control group (p < 0.001); and the FSS scores 3.8 (2.0–4.8) in patients, and 1.4 (1.0–1.9) in control subjects (p < 0.001). Inverted SF-36vs scores had a mean (SD) value of 58.8 (23.6) in patients, and 29.7 (14.3) in healthy subjects (p < 0.001). The presence of clinically relevant fatigue ranged from 41 to 50% in patients. Increased fatigue severity was associated with female sex, younger age, and elevated pain and depression scores, but not with levels of selected biochemical variables, including hemoglobin. Fatigue is a severe and frequent phenomenon in patients with untreated celiac disease.

Psychiatric Manifestations of Coeliac Disease, a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12010142. [PMID: 31947912 PMCID: PMC7019223 DOI: 10.3390/nu12010142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2019] [Revised: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Coeliac disease (CD) is increasingly prevalent and is associated with both gastrointestinal (GI) and extra-intestinal manifestations. Psychiatric disorders are amongst extra-intestinal manifestations proposed. The relationship between CD and such psychiatric disorders is not well recognised or understood. Aim: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide a greater understanding of the existing evidence and theories surrounding psychiatric manifestations of CD. Methodology: An online literature search using PubMed was conducted, the prevalence data for both CD and psychiatric disorders was extracted from eligible articles. Meta analyses on odds ratios were also performed. Results: A total of 37 articles were included in this review. A significant increase in risk was detected for autistic spectrum disorder (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.24–1.88, p < 0.0001), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.18–1.63, p < 0.0001), depression (OR 2.17, 95% CI 2.17–11.15, p < 0.0001), anxiety (OR 6.03, 95% CI 2.22–16.35, p < 0.0001), and eating disorders (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.37–1.91, p < 0.00001) amongst the CD population compared to healthy controls. No significant differences were found for bipolar disorder (OR 2.35, 95% CI 2.29–19.21, p = 0.43) or schizophrenia (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.02–10.18, p = 0.62). Conclusion: CD is associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, eating disorders as well as ASD and ADHD. More research is required to investigate specific biological explanations as well as any effect of gluten free diet.

Concepts and Instruments for Patient-Reported Outcome Assessment in Celiac Disease: Literature Review and Experts' Perspectives.

[PMID: 31952665 DOI: 10.1016/j.jval.2019.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Revised: 05/28/2019] [Accepted: 07/18/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In diseases where there is a large subjective component, such as celiac disease (CD), patient reported-outcomes (PRO) endpoints are highly relevant. However, there is a gap in knowledge about which PRO endpoints and instruments should be used for clinical trials for treatment of celiac disease. OBJECTIVES To identify patient-centered symptom, impact, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) concepts in CD and relevant PRO instruments, and to gather expert input on concepts and instruments to inform selection of PRO endpoints for use in clinical trials of new CD treatments. METHODS A targeted literature review was conducted to identify symptom, impact, and HRQoL concepts, including those captured in PROs further reviewed against U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards for development and validation as endpoints. US and European clinicians, payers, and a patient advocate (n = 21) were interviewed to assess the identified concepts' relative importance in measuring treatment benefit and to gauge the value of potential PROs as endpoints for market access/reimbursement. RESULTS Thirty-four published studies were identified: 27 elucidated patient-centered concepts and 7 detailed the development or validation of PRO instruments. The Celiac Disease Symptom Diary and Celiac Disease Patient Reported Outcome instrument were deemed most appropriate for use as endpoints; however, each had limitations related to conceptual coverage, evidence for measurement properties, and feasibility for use in clinical trials. Experts reported gastrointestinal symptoms as most important to treat, with extra-intestinal symptoms burdensome from the patient perspective as well. Payers emphasized measuring both frequency and severity of symptoms and targeting patients nonresponsive to the gluten-free diet for treatment. CONCLUSIONS With emerging treatment options for CD, further work is needed to operationalize PRO symptom endpoints that are meaningful to patients, valued by payers, and acceptable to regulators in demonstrating efficacy.

Indian J Gastroenterol 2019; 38:450-455. [PMID: 31705459 DOI: 10.1007/s12664-019-00990-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 09/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
AIM Patients with celiac disease (CeD) are prone to develop other autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroid disease and type 1 diabetes. While 7.5% of first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with CeD develop CeD, it is not clear whether FDRs of patients with CeD are at higher risk of developing autoimmune thyroid disease. METHODS In this prospective case-control study, we recruited 194 FDRs (males 53.1%) of 91 patients with CeD and 140 age-matched healthy controls (males 76.4%). They were screened for CeD using anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (anti-tTG Ab) and thyroid disease using a symptom questionnaire, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Subjects having positive anti-TPO but a normal TSH were classified as having thyroid autoimmunity and those with elevated TSH with or without positive anti-TPO Ab were classified as having autoimmune thyroid dysfunction. RESULTS The prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction in FDRs was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (17.5% vs. 5.0%, p < 0.01; 11.8% vs. 3.5%, p < 0.01), respectively. A significantly higher number of FDRs had a positive anti-tTG Ab in comparison with controls (13.9% vs. 2.2%, p < 0.001). Amongst FDRs having thyroid autoimmunity, 44.1%, 47.0% and 8.8% were siblings, parents and children of patients with CeD, respectively. Familial clustering was seen only in 1 family. CONCLUSION FDRs of patients with CeD have 3-fold higher risk of developing autoimmune thyroid disorders and associated thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, it is advisable for early screening of FDRs for CeD and associated thyroid autoimmune through screening measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with autoimmune disorders (ADs) are at increased risk for celiac disease (CD), but data are conflicting on the risk of ADs in treated patients with CD. We aimed to assess the incidence of ADs in treated patients with CD. METHODS Using the Rochester Epidemiology Project, we retrospectively searched for the medical records at Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center from January 1997 to December 2015 for patients with CD who met accepted diagnostic criteria. For each patient with CD, we identified 2 age and sex-matched controls during the same study period. The incidence rate of AD diagnosis 5 years after index date was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis for the CD cases and controls and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS We identified 249 treated patients with CD during the study period and 498 matched controls, with mean (standard deviation) ages of 32 (22) years and 33 (22) years, respectively. One third of patients (n = 85) and controls (n = 170) were boys. Five years after the index date, 5.0% of patients with CD and 1.3% of controls had a de novo AD diagnosis (P = 0.006). In the presence of a prior AD, the cumulative risk of a de novo or additional AD was significantly higher in the CD group compared with controls (P < 0.001). Children had a significantly higher risk of AD development compared with adults (P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Treated patients with CD are at higher risk for the development of ADs. The risk of a new AD is higher in children, especially when >1 AD diagnosis exists.

Abstract
GOAL The aim of this analysis was to assess in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) the risk of celiac disease and in celiac disease patients the risk of IBD. BACKGROUND Previous studies report a possible association between IBD and celiac disease; however, this link is controversial. STUDY Using the search terms "inflammatory bowel disease" and "celiac disease," we identified initially 1525 publications. In total 27 studies met inclusion criteria. Proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the prevalence of IBD in celiac disease and vice versa were compared with published prevalence rates for the respective geographic regions. RESULTS We included 41,482 adult IBD patients (20,357 with Crohn's disease; 19,791 with ulcerative colitis; and 459 patients with celiac disease). Overall, in IBD patients the prevalence of celiac disease was 1110/100,000 (95% CI, 1010-1210/100,000) as compared with a prevalence of 620/100,000 (95% CI, 610-630/100,000) in the respective populations (odds ratio, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.99-2.50). In contrast, in patients with celiac disease, 2130/100,000 had IBD (95% CI, 1590-2670/100,000) as compared with 260/100,000 (95% CI, 250/100,000-270/100,000) in the respective populations (odds ratio, 11.10; 95% CI, 8.55-14.40). This effect was not different for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Although there was no evidence for publication bias for celiac disease in IBD, the funnel plot suggested that the association between IBD in celiac disease might be influenced by publication bias. CONCLUSIONS The data are consistent with the notion that celiac disease is a risk factor for IBD and to lesser degree patients with IBD have an increased risk of celiac disease.

Abstract
Fatigue is increasingly recognized as a significant problem in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In celiac disease, a chronic immune-mediated disease triggered by dietary gluten, conflicting opinions exist regarding both the size of the problem and the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on fatigue. We reviewed the existing literature regarding fatigue in celiac disease. We conducted a systematic search in the Embase, Ovid Medline, and Cochrane databases using subject terms from controlled vocabularies. Articles were reviewed based on language, type of article, title, and abstract or full text. Eighteen articles were finally selected for review. Fatigue was significantly greater in patients with celiac disease compared to healthy control subjects. Fatigue prevalence ranged from 8 to 100%. Fatigue severity was assessed in six studies. The fatigue visual analogue scale was the most frequently used fatigue instrument with scores from 57 to 79 prior to starting a GFD and from 39 to 59 in patients on a GFD. Seven studies investigated the effect of a GFD on fatigue, including five studies that reported less fatigue while on the diet and two studies that showed no significant difference. This review concludes that fatigue is a substantial complaint in patients with celiac disease. A GFD seems to reduce fatigue, but existing data are limited.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We aim to review the current literature on the association of musculoskeletal disorders and celiac disease that is a common disorder, affecting about 1% of the population. Extra-intestinal symptoms and presentations predominate. RECENT FINDINGS While the literature supports an association with reduced bone mineral density and increased fracture risk and celiac disease, there is little evidence supporting associations with other rheumatological conditions. Patients frequently report musculoskeletal symptoms; however, studies of specific disease entities suffer from a lack of standardization of testing for celiac disease and a lack of control groups. Well-controlled, preferably population-based studies are required to further explore a relationship between celiac disease and musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Celiac disease is an immune-mediated enteropathy characterized with high heterogeneity in presentation among genetically predisposed individuals. In recent years, a change in the phenotypic presentation of celiac disease has been reported. We studied clinical presentation, from 1960 through 2015, in Ireland, which has a high incidence of celiac disease. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of medical charts from patients diagnosed with celiac disease at 5 secondary referral centers in Ireland from 1960 through 2015 (n = 749; median age, 56 years; age range, 18-91 years). The cohort was divided into 5 groups based on year of diagnosis (≤1985, 1986-1995, 1996-2005, 2006-2010, or 2011 and later). We collected findings from clinical presentation at diagnosis; serology tests; small intestinal biopsy analyses; and patients' demographic, clinical, and family data. Presentations at diagnosis were classified according to the Oslo criteria as follows: classical (patients presenting with malabsorption), nonclassical (no signs or symptoms of malabsorption at presentation), or subclinical (below the threshold of clinical detection). The primary outcome was change in clinical presentation of celiac disease over time. RESULTS Of the 749 patients studied, 512 were female and 237 were male (ratio of 2.2:1). Female patients were diagnosed at younger ages than male patients (42 vs 47 years, respectively; P = .004), and had more immune-mediated conditions than male patients (35.7% for female patients vs 21.5% for male patients; P < .001). For patients diagnosed as adults (after the age of 18 years), the median age of diagnosis increased from 34.0 years during the period ≤1985 to median ages of 44-46 years after 1985 (P < .002). A smaller proportion of patients presented with classical features of celiac disease after 2010 (48.4%) than ≤1985 (85.2%); the proportion of patients with nonclassical or subclinical celiac disease increased from 14.8% ≤1985 to 51.6% after 2010 (P = .006 for each). Biopsies categorized as Marsh 3c decreased, from 52.2% in the period 1996-2005 to 22.5% in the period after 2010 (P = .003). The prevalence of associated thyroid disease has decreased during the study period, from 36.6% ≤1985 to 17.1% after 2010 (P = .039), whereas body mass index at diagnosis increased from 21.5 kg/m2 ≤1985 to 24.8 kg/m2 after 2010 (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS We found the clinical presentation of celiac disease changed significantly in Ireland from 1960 through 2015. The age of presentation in adulthood increased over this time period, as did the proportions of patients with nonclassical or subclinical disease.

Abstract
The prevalence of thyroid disease is likely increased among individuals with celiac disease (CD). In addition, exposure to gluten-free treatment may be associated with a risk of thyroid disease, but this association remains controversial. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the association between thyroid disease and CD. The articles were obtained from the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Chinese WanFang bibliographical databases for the period up to May 2016. The results were analysed in a meta-analysis with odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). There were 13 articles in this meta-analysis, including 15629 CD cases and 79342 controls. Overall, the prevalence of thyroid disease in patients with CD was significantly increased compared with that in the control groups (OR 3.08, 95% CI 2.67-3.56, P<0.001). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the OR between the gluten-treated and untreated groups (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.61-1.92, P = 0.786). The results of our meta-analysis support the hypothesis that the prevalence of thyroid disease in patients with CD is increased compared with that in controls, which suggests that CD patients should be screened for thyroid disease. The effect of gluten-free treatment on thyroid disease needs further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease of the small intestine which occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages. A large clinical spectrum of manifestations accompanies the onset of the disease with diarrhoea, flatulence and weight loss being the most common. However, findings like osteoporosis, iron deficiency, anaemia and hypocalcaemia could also insinuate the existence of the disease. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 55-year-old man with numbness and tingling of the upper extremities due to hypocalcaemia that proved to be an uncommon case of celiac disease. CONCLUSION A non-negligible number of adult patients with celiac disease can present with only minor and subclinical manifestations of the disease. As such, hypocalcaemia may be the sole manifestation of celiac disease. A high index of suspicion is needed for prompt diagnosis.

Clin Pract Epidemiol Ment Health 2015; 11:180-5. [PMID: 26962323 PMCID: PMC4763959 DOI: 10.2174/1745017901511010180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2015] [Revised: 09/19/2015] [Accepted: 09/19/2015] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Introduction: Aims: to measure the
association between Celiac Disease (CD) and affective disorders, particularly
Bipolar Disorder (BD), since it has not been studied yet, and to measure how
much the quality of life (QoL) of a person with CD is affected by comorbidity
with these disorders. Methods: Design: Case-control study. Cases:
60 consecutive patients with CD. Controls: 240 subjects without CD, randomly
selected after sex- and age-matching from a database of an epidemiological
study. Psychiatric diagnoses according to DSM-IV carried out by physicians using
structured interview tools (ANTAS-SCID). QoL was measured by means of SF-12. Results: The lifetime prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
was higher in CD than in controls (30.0% vs 8.3%, P<0.0001) as well as
Panic Disorder (PD) (18.3% vs 5.4%, P<0.001) and BD (4.3% vs 0.4%,
P<0.005). Patients with CD show a lower mean score than controls on SF12
(35.8±5.7 vs.
38.2±6.4; p=0.010), but those without comorbidity with MDD, PD and BD do
not. The attributable burden of CD in worsening QoL - when comorbid with these
disorders - was found comparable to that of serious chronic diseases like
Wilson’s Disease, and lower than Multiple Sclerosis only. Conclusion: MDD, PD and BD are strictly associated with CD. The comorbidity with these
disorders is the key determinant of impaired quality of life in CD. Thus a
preventive action on mood and anxiety disorders in patients suffering from CD is
required. Moreover a screening for CD in people with affective disorders and
showing key symptoms or family history of CD is recommended.
