The Risk of Autoimmune Disorders in Treated Celiac Disease Patients in Olmsted County, Minnesota.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with autoimmune disorders (ADs) are at increased risk for celiac disease (CD), but data are conflicting on the risk of ADs in treated patients with CD. We aimed to assess the incidence of ADs in treated patients with CD.

Methods

Using the Rochester Epidemiology Project, we retrospectively searched for the medical records at Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center from January 1997 to December 2015 for patients with CD who met accepted diagnostic criteria. For each patient with CD, we identified 2 age and sex-matched controls during the same study period. The incidence rate of AD diagnosis 5 years after index date was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis for the CD cases and controls and compared using the log-rank test.

Results

We identified 249 t
