Celiac disease in North America: What is the current practice of pediatric gastroenterology providers?

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

While guidelines exist for the diagnosis and management of pediatric celiac disease (CeD), current practices in North America are not well-described. This study aimed to explore current practice patterns to identify gaps and direct future clinical, training and research initiatives.

Methods

A 23-item survey designed by the Celiac Disease Special Interest Group was distributed electronically to its members. Questions explored four themes: (1) screening and diagnosis pre and post the coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 pandemic, (2) treatment and monitoring, (3) family screening and transition of care, and (4) CeD focused training.

Results

The survey response rate was 10.8% (278/2552). Most respondents were from the United States (89.9%, n = 250) and Canada
