“…Our study included more female participants, which is in line with the results of other surveys. Namely, the authors have noticed that female population is more likely to suffer from coeliac disease (1.3-2:1) [1,11]. In our cohort, nearly 45% of children with coeliac disease belong to the older age group.…”

Introduction/Objective Strict gluten-free diet for life is the only treatment for patients with coeliac disease. Limited selection of food options can affect their quality of life and cause problems in acceptance by their peers. The aim was to examine the subjective quality of life experience in children and adolescents with coeliac disease and to obtain a comprehensive representation of physical and mental impairments and social functioning compared to their healthy peers. Methods The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study. It included 116 respondents aged 5-18 years with coeliac disease and 116 healthy children of similar age and sex. A Serbian version of Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) was used to measure the quality of life in children. Descriptive statistics were calculated to analyze all results, while t-test was used to compare them. Results The mean value of total PedsQL score was lower in the coeliac disease patients (75.89 ± 20.35) than in the controls (86.35 ± 11.13). Additionally, the experimental group reported lower all PedsQL Scale scores than the control group in the domains of psychosocial, school, social, and emotional functioning. However, there was no statistically significant difference on the physical health scale. These results were the same in all age groups among both males and females. Conclusions The disturbance of health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with coeliac disease is significant and the quality of life is lower if compared to their healthy peers.

“…There is a considerable heterogeneity in clinical presentation, from malabsorption with chronic diarrhoea, poor growth in children, abdominal distension and weight loss to non-specific signs and symptoms (1,2). The disease affects about 1% of the population and has a negative impact on various aspects of life, including physical and social functioning.…”

“…Celiac disease (also called gluten-sensitive enteropathy or dependent disorder of the small intestine) is a multisystemic disorder that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals and is associated with other autoimmune diseases [1] . In its essence, celiac disease is considered as an autoimmune enteropathy owing to the complex immune-mediated reaction to specific gluten-peptides [2] found in wheat and other grain products such as rye, barley, which, in celiac patients, cause villous atrophy and malabsorption.…”

Background and objectives: Celiac disease is a disease affecting the digestive system whereby the patient is unable to tolerate gluten-containing food. The aims of this study were to study the prevalence of dental defects and oral hygiene status of a group of celiac disease patients in Benghazi. Materials and methods: A group of celiac disease patients (n = 40 & Male: Female ratio is 1: 2.4 & age range 3-19 years, mean 10 years, SD ± 4.8) were recruited from Benghazi Pediatric Hospital where they had already been diagnosed in gastroenterology units at private clinics. The patient's dental status was assessed through measuring their Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth index (DMFT), oral hygiene index (OHI) and CPITN using disposable mouth mirrors, explorers and periodontal probes. Descriptive statistics was applied to give a picture about the oral hard and soft tissue prevalence this group of patients. Results: Descriptive statistics of the celiac sample showed that 29 (72.5%) had enamel hypoplastic defects. The mean and SD values for DMFT, CPITN and OHI were measured (DMFT: 4.5 SD ± 4.7 & CPITN: 0.8 SD ± 0.5; and OHI: 1.1 SD ± 0.7). Besides, only two patients (6.4%) reported a history of oral ulceration during the course of their therapy. Healthy controls showed comparative values, being less in only OHI, while they were slightly more in DMFT and CPITN. Conclusion: This is a cross-sectional clinical survey showing that patients with celiac disorder should be expected to have higher prevalence of defective incisor teeth, which makes their front teeth liable to traumatic fracture. The presence of frequent soft tissue ulcers in their mouths might indicate a warning sign of the possibility to develop the disease and thus urge the child's parents or guardians to consult a physician to confirm or negate the suspicion.
