lüll Systematic review: The evidence base for long-term management of coeliac disease Haines ML; Anderson RP; Gibson PRAliment Pharmacol Ther 2008[Nov]; 28 (9): 1042-66BACKGROUND: While gluten-free diet is an effective treatment for coeliac disease, the need for and goals of long-term management of patients are poorly defined. AIM: To review systematically the complications and associations of coeliac disease, to identify potential risk factors, to define ways of assessing risk factors and to provide a strategy for management. METHODS: Review of medical literature from 1975. RESULTS: There is an increasing list of potential complications and/or conditions associated with coeliac disease, in particular, autoimmune disease, malignancy and bone disease. Risk factors that may predict or influence long-term outcomes include genetic susceptibility, environmental factors predominantly gluten ingestion, persistent small intestinal inflammation/injury and nutritional deficiencies. Genotyping of patients is yet to have an established clinical role in long-term management. Assessment of adherence to the gluten-free diet largely relies upon skilled dietary history, but the ultimate test is duodenal histopathology, which is the only currently established means of assessing healing. Symptoms, serology or other non-invasive means are poor predictors of healing and the likelihood of complications. CONCLUSION: Evidence (albeit limited) that adherence to a gluten-free diet and mucosal healing prevent and/or ameliorate complications indicates that a planned long-term strategy for follow-up is essential.|Celiac Disease/complications/genetics/*therapy[MESH]|Evidence-Based Medicine[MESH]|Genetic Predisposition to Disease[MESH]|Glutens/*adverse effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Inflammation[MESH]|Intestine, Small/pathology[MESH]|Long-Term Care/methods[MESH]|Malnutrition[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH] |
