TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the number of deaths up to 1998 with expected deaths and expressed the comparison as standardised mortality ratio (SMR) and relative survival ratio (RSR) in patients with coeliac disease and their first-degree relatives.

TL;DR: In coeliac disease, affective disorders should be ascribed to difficulties in adjusting to the chronic nature of the disease rather than directly to the disease itself, thus giving an indication for preventive liaison psychiatric interventions.

TL;DR: In patients in whom there is a strong clinical suspicion of coeliac disease, an elevated RDW despite normal haemoglobin concentration may be a reliable predictor of the disease.

TL;DR: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of five commercially available IgA anti-tTG ELISA reagent sets for pathologically confirmed CD and to evaluate the changes in anti- tTG autoantibody concentrations during treatment of CD with a gluten-free diet (GFD).

TL;DR: Prevalence of type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies (islet cell antibody [ICA], GAD antibody [GADA], and antibodies to the protein tyrosine phosphatase-related IA-2 [anti-IA2]) in a cohort of 378 nondiabetic adults with celiac disease is assessed.
