“…In our study, psychiatric and neurological symptoms, which are common in this age group, could be part of the CD spectrum of manifestations, similar to those described by other authors 16,17 The risk of complications is higher in patients with late recognition of CD because gluten testing is more time-consuming 2 . We observed that anemia and bone disorders were more frequent.…”

“…Seven studies (5 cohorts) [ 34 , 35 , 37 , 40 - 42 , 44 ] were analyzed, including 7978 pregnant women with CD and 78,241 non-CD pregnant women; SA was detected in 11.5% (n=920) vs. 9.2% (n=7202), respectively. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the risk for SA and CD (RR 1.35, 95%CI 1.10-1.65).…”
