Dietary adherence is not dependent on the mode of diagnosis in children with coeliac disease

Abstract

Aim: To compare the adherence to gluten-free diet between children with serology-based and biopsy-proven coeliac disease. Methods: Medical records were retrospectively reviewed in 257 Swedish children diagnosed with coeliac disease between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary hospital. Adherence to a gluten-free diet was systematically assessed by trained dietitians at follow-up. Mixed models were used to analyse the dietary adherence by mode of diagnosis (serology-based vs. biopsy-proven). Results: After mean 6.3 (SD 2.4) years, there was neither a difference in the dietary adherence over time depending on the mode of diagnosis (OR 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.26, 1.60], p = 0.342), nor if coeliac disease was detected in screening...

Non-adherence to a gluten-free diet increased with age (OR 1.19 [95% CI 1.06, 1.33], p = 0.003). There was no difference in the proportion of patients improving their dietary adherence from non-adherent to adherent over time (p = 0.322). Conclusion: Mode of diagnosis did not influence the dietary adherence in Swedish children with coeliac disease, although adherence to a gluten-free diet was inversely associated with increasing age.
