Background: Ongoing symptoms in treated celiac disease (CD) are frequent and are commonly thought of as being due to infractions to a gluten-free diet (GFD) or complications. Aims: To study the etiology and natural history of clinically relevant events (CREs) throughout follow-up and identify predictors thereof to guide follow-up. Methods: CREs (symptoms/signs requiring diagnostic/therapeutic interventions) occurring in celiac patients between January-2000 and May-2021 were retrospectively collected between June and September 2021 and analysed. Results: One-hundred-and-eighty-nine adult patients (133 F, age at diagnosis 36 ± 13 years, median follow-up 103 months, IQR 54–156) were enrolled. CREs were very common (88/189, 47%), but hardly due to poor GFD adherence (4%) or complications (2%). Interestingly, leading etiologies were functional gastrointestinal disorders (30%), reflux disease (18%) and micronutrient deficiencies (10%). Age at diagnosis ≥ 45 years (HR 1.68, 95%CI 1.05–2.69, p = 0.03) and classical pattern of CD (HR 1.63, 95%CI 1.04–2.54, p = 0.03) were predictors of CREs on a multivariable Cox model. At 5 years, 46% of classical patients ≥ 45 years old at diagnosis were event-free, while this was 62% for non-classical/silent ≥ 45 years, 60% for classical < 45 years, and 80% for non-classical/silent < 45 years. Conclusions: CREs occurred in almost half of CD patients during follow-up, with functional disorders being very common. New follow-up strategies for adult CD may be developed based on age and clinical pattern at diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
