The aim of our study was to assess the diagnostic approach in newly diagnosed children with CD in Slovenia.
Methods: In this prospective study, Slovenian paediatric gastroenterologists were invited to provide medical records of children under 19 years diagnosed with CD from March 2021 to October 2023.
Article Synopsis

- Conducted from 2019 to 2022, the research involved 421 healthy children and youth, revealing a 10.9% infection rate, with key risk factors including school location and urban living.
- Findings indicate that children attending school in Central Slovenia were nearly 4.77 times more likely to be infected, marking the study as the first of its kind in examining H. pylori infection among this demographic.
