Abstract

To chart trends in the presentation of celiac disease in a large cohort of Finnish children diagnosed over a period of 48 years. Clinical and serologic data, severity of small-bowel mucosal damage, and presence of associated conditions were gathered from 596 children diagnosed with celiac disease in 1966-2013. The children were divided into 4 groups based on the year of diagnosis (before 1980, 1980-1999, 2000-2009, and 2010-2013), and the variables were compared between the periods. The incidence of celiac disease autoimmunity in 2001-2013 was calculated based on the number of new antibody-positive cases in each year. Age at diagnosis rose from median 4.3 years before 1980 to between 7.6 and 9.0 years in the later periods. The severity of clinical presentation, in general, became milder and poor growth less common during the entire study period of 50 years. Percentages of children with classical gastrointestinal presentation decreased, and those with atypical or subclinical presentation increased after the 1990s, these changes leveling off in 2000-2013. Similarly, the severity of small-bowel mucosal damage was milder after the 1990s. The incidence of celiac disease autoimmunity increased in the early 2000s but then fluctuated w...Continue Reading
