Coeliac screening in a high-risk population: paediatric type 1 diabetes —a review of current guidelines and practice
ConclusionsTimely diagnosis of CD can prevent chronic ill health in affected individuals, and in patients with T1DM, CD is an independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality. Given the high prevalence of atypical symptoms and silent CD in those with T1DM, in this and other studies, and the benefits of detection and treatment of CD, screening is essential. Large-scale data collection allowing for the development of evidence-based guidelines is required.
