Exploring histological remission in pediatric patients with celiac disease.

In response to the article presented by Laura Rodríguez-Martínez et al., which discusses mucosal healing rates in celiac disease and the risk factors for persistent damage despite a gluten-free diet in adults, we present a review of biopsies from pediatric patients with celiac disease performed at our center between 2001 and 2020. Notably, there is a higher rate of mucosal healing compared to adults (83%), and factors such as age at diagnosis, histological involvement, and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody levels at diagnosis do not appear to be significant risk factors, unlike in adults.

Definitions of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Which One Should We Use?

Objective: To assess the clinical applicability of the current definitions of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and their ability to predict subsequent respiratory outcomes.

Study Design: In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from 104 preterm infants (mean gestational age, 25.8 weeks) diagnosed with BPD between 2010 and 2018 at a single tertiary care center.
