Mortality in people with coeliac disease: Long-term follow-up from a Scottish cohort.

Background: Few studies have determined the very long-term mortality risks in adult and childhood-diagnosed coeliac disease.

Objective: We quantified mortality risks in coeliac disease and determined whether age at diagnosis, or time following diagnosis, modified these risks.

Methods: Standardised mortality ratios were determined using data from a cohort of 602 coeliac patients assembled between 1979-1983 from Lothian, Scotland, and followed up from 1970-2016.
