[PMID: 37378421 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2023.2227423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease. Increased cardiovascular morbidity has been reported in coeliac disease, but in DH only little is known about this. In this cohort study with a long-term follow-up, the risk for vascular diseases in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and coeliac disease was assessed. METHODS The study consisted of 368 DH and 1072 coeliac disease patients with biopsy-proven diagnosis performed between 1966 and 2000. For each DH and coeliac disease patient three matched reference individuals were obtained from the population register. Data regarding all outpatient and inpatient treatment periods between 1970 and 2015 were reviewed for diagnostic codes of vascular diseases from the Care Register for Health Care. Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the risks for the diseases studied and the HRs were adjusted for diabetes mellitus (aHR). RESULTS The median follow-up time of DH and coeliac disease patients was 46 years. The risk for cardiovascular diseases did not differ between DH patients and their references (aHR 1.16, 95% CI 0.91-1.47), but among coeliac disease patients, the risk was increased (aHR 1.36, 95% CI 1.16-1.59). The risk for cerebrovascular diseases was found to be decreased in DH patients when compared with references (aHR 0.68, 95% CI 0.47-0.99) and increased in coeliac disease patients (aHR 1.33, 95% CI 1.07-1.66). The risk for venous thrombosis was increased in coeliac disease patients (aHR 1.62, 95% CI 1.22-2.16) but not in DH. CONCLUSIONS The risk for vascular complications appears to differ between DH and coeliac disease. In DH the risk for cerebrovascular diseases seems to be decreased, while in coeliac disease an elevated risk for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases was observed. These differing vascular risk profiles between the two manifestations of the same disease merit further investigation.

Dual X-ray absorptiometry-derived bone status indexes and videocapsule intestinal aspects in celiac disease. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 35:1117-1122.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Celiac disease is a risk factor for osteopenia and osteoporosis. Our aim was to evaluate the possible correlation between villous atrophy extension and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived parameters of bone status. METHODS We have retrospectively analyzed data of 47 celiac patients (36 women, 52 ± 14 years of age) who underwent video capsule endoscopy and DXA scans within 1 year of interval from 2006 to 2019. Quantitative, qualitative and geometric DXA parameters were collected only from the most recent DXA measurements. RESULTS . Patients were divided into three categories; the first included those with no lesions at video capsule endoscopy (23 patients), the second those with typical lesions (mucosal atrophy, mosaicism and scalloping) in less than one-third of the small bowel (SB) (16 patients) and the third those with typical lesions in more than one-third of the SB (7 patients). In the third group, bone mineral density seemed to be lower in both the lumbar spine and the hip ( P = 0.026 and P = 0.011, respectively). The deterioration of bone structure in patients with severe and extended SB atrophy was statistically significant ( P = 0.032). Furthermore, bone density, structure and geometry did not correlate with the duration of the gluten-free diet. Notably, autoimmune comorbidities did not affect DXA results. CONCLUSION Neither endoscopic nor histological atrophy itself can explain the deterioration of bone mineralization and structure, whereas atrophy extension appeared to be responsible for bone impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The best-known symptoms of coeliac disease are related to the gastrointestinal tract, but the disease may also present with various systemic manifestations outside the intestine. Some of these consequences may remain permanent in undiagnosed individuals or if the diagnostic delay is prolonged. However, for many of the systemic manifestations, the scientific evidence remains scant and contradictory. AIMS AND METHODS We conducted a narrative review of the most thoroughly studied and clinically relevant systemic consequences of coeliac disease, especially those that could be prevented or alleviated by early diagnosis. The review is intended particularly for physicians encountering these patients in daily clinical practice. RESULTS The possible systemic consequences of coeliac disease extend to multiple organ systems, the best studied of which are related to skeletal, reproductive, cardiovascular and neurological systems. Furthermore, the disease is associated with an elevated risk of psychiatric comorbidities, non-Hodgkin lymphomas and intestinal adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS The various systemic consequences of coeliac disease play a significant role in the overall health of patients. Early diagnosis and treatment with a gluten-free diet appear to be beneficial for most, but not all of these conditions. The possible negative metabolic and psychosocial effects of the diet should be acknowledged during follow-up.
