Barriers of Adherence to a Gluten-Free Diet in Iranian Adults With Celiac Disease
This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate and classify barriers to adherence to the gluten-free diet in 137 Iranian adults with celiac disease. We used a 23-point Likert questionnaire and exploratory factor analysis to identify and classify the barriers. Adherence to gluten-free diet was assessed by measuring the serum level of anti-tTG-IgA. The correlation between the barriers and adherence to gluten-free diet was assessed using logistic regression. A total of 117 subjects completed the study. Seven factors were extracted: “gluten-free diet restrictions,” “self-awareness and social awareness,” “psychological ...

The STOP-Bang questionnaire (University of Toronto, 2012) is a validated obstructive sleep apnea screening questionnaire used as a preprocedure evaluation tool to assess a patient's risk for obstructive sleep apnea. The purpose of this study was to determine whether risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea, using the STOP-Bang questionnaire, could predict procedural airway complications in 152 endoscopy patients following conscious sedation.
