Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with celiac disease: a multicenter research network study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Celiac disease (CD) is associated with an increased risk for respiratory infections and severe outcomes. No data have been reported in the scientific literature regarding the outcomes of COVID-19 in this population. The aim of this study was to report matched clinical outcomes in a large cohort of 930 patients with COVID-19 in the setting of known CD.

Methods

Analysis of a multicenter research network TriNETX was performed, including COVID-19 patients aged more than 16 years. Outcomes of COVID-19-positive patients with concurrent CD were compared with a propensity-matched cohort of patients without CD.

Results

A total of 341,499 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were identified on the research network: 930 (0.27%) with CD and 340,569 (99.73%) without CD. I
