J Clin Gastroenterol 2024; 58:588-595. [PMID: 37646538 DOI: 10.1097/mcg.0000000000001913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Current guidelines recommend multiple biopsies from the first (D1) and second (D2) part of duodenum to establish a diagnosis of celiac disease. In this meta-analysis we aimed to find whether D1 biopsy can increase the diagnostic yield of adult celiac disease. METHODS Literature databases were searched until January 2023 for studies reporting diagnosis of celiac disease in the adult population using D1 biopsy. Meta-analysis was done using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed by I 2 % and 95% prediction interval statistics. Measured outcomes were diagnostic yield with D1 and D2 biopsies and from 4 versus 2 biopsy samples. RESULTS A total of 16 studies were included in the final analysis. The pooled diagnostic rate of celiac disease from D1 biopsy was 77.4% [95% CI (64.7-86.5, I 2 94%)] and from D2 biopsy was 75.3% [60.8-85.7, I 2 96%]. The pooled rate of increase in diagnostic yield with D1 biopsy was 6.9% I [4.6-10.2, I 2 66%]. The pooled diagnosis rate with 2 biopsy samples were 77.3% [50-92, I 2 93%] and 86.4% I [58.4-96.7, I 2 87%] from D1 and D2 respectively, whereas that with 4 biopsy samples were 83.3% [49.8-96.2, I 2 76%] and 70.5% I [51-84.6, I 2 96%] from D1 and D2, respectively, the difference being non-significant. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that taking 4 biopsy samples does not incur any additional diagnostic value over taking 2 biopsy samples from each duodenum segment. Although biopsy from the D1 and D2 has similar diagnostic yield in the adult population, there was an overall increase in diagnostic yield with D1 biopsy, especially in those with a patchy disease distribution.

Abstract
Coeliac disease (CeD) is an immunological disease triggered by the consumption of gluten contained in food in individuals with a genetic predisposition. Diagnosis is based on the presence of small bowel mucosal atrophy and circulating autoantibodies (anti-type 2 transglutaminase antibodies). After diagnosis, patients follow a strict, life-long gluten-free diet. Although the criteria for diagnosis of this disease are well defined, the monitoring phase has been studied less and there is a lack of specific guidelines for this phase. To develop a set of clinical guidelines for CeD monitoring, we followed the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology. Statements and recommendations with the level of evidence were developed and approved by the working group, which comprised gastroenterologists, pathologists, dieticians and biostatisticians. The proposed guidelines, endorsed by the North American and European coeliac disease scientific societies, make recommendations for best practices in monitoring patients with CeD based on the available evidence. The evidence level is low for many topics, suggesting that further research in specific aspects of CeD would be valuable. In conclusion, the present guidelines support clinicians in improving CeD treatment and follow-up and highlight novel issues that should be considered in future studies.

Chetcuti Zammit S, McAlindon ME, Sanders DS, Sidhu R. Assessment of disease severity on capsule endoscopy in patients with small bowel villous atrophy. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 36:1015-1021. [PMID: 32808308 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2020] [Revised: 05/14/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM There is a lack of uniformity of reporting on features of celiac disease (CD) on small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). This makes determining extent of disease and comparison of severity of disease challenging. METHODS De-identified SBCEs of 300 patients (78 CD [26%], 18 serology negative villous atrophy [6%], and 204 controls with normal duodenal histology [68%]) were included. Videos were reviewed by two experts. All patients had duodenal histology taken within 2 weeks of SBCE. The degree of agreement in CD features and extent of disease was then determined. The resulting score for each factor was used to determine overall severity of disease. RESULTS There was substantial agreement in the kappa coefficient for the detection of CD features between reviewers (0.67). Agreement for extent of affected small bowel (SB) mucosa was high (0.97). On multiple regression analysis, several features of CD correlated with extent of affected SB mucosa for both reviewers. The odds ratios derived from this analysis were then used to score features of CD, enabling scores of severity to be calculated for each patient. The median overall scores for patients increased significantly according to the independent classification of severity by the capsule reviewers: mild (20, 0-79), moderate (45, 25-123), and severe (89, 65-130) (P = 0.0001). CONCLUSION The good correlation of CD scores between expert reviewers confirms the validity of features of CD on SBCE. An objective score of CD features in the SB is useful in the follow up of patients with CD and serology negative villous atrophy.
