Objectives: Diagnosis of coeliac disease based on serology only has been allowed since 2018 in Finland for adults meeting specific criteria. We studied the patient experiences and perceptions of this novel diagnostic option.
Methods: Altogether 194 adult patients were questioned on socio-demographic and health-related characteristics, quality of life and various coeliac disease-related issues.

Unlabelled: Current professional guidelines enable diagnosing pediatric Celiac Disease (CeD) without a biopsy, when tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA antibodies are > × 10 the upper limit of normal (ULN) and anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) are positive in a second sample. We compared baseline characteristics and serology normalization in children diagnosed with or without biopsies. A retrospective study of pediatric patients diagnosed with CeD during 2020: group A, no biopsy and group B, biopsy-based diagnosis.

Coeliac disease (CD) affects almost of 1% of the population, yet remains undiagnosed in the majority. Though the demonstration of enteropathy in duodenal biopsy was traditionally the essential criterion for the diagnosis of coeliac disease, the guidelines published by the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) in 2012, and revised in 2020, paved the way to a no-biopsy approach to diagnosis. In a select group of children meeting certain criteria, a definitive diagnosis of CD can now be made without the need for duodenal biopsies.

The no-biopsy approach to diagnose celiac disease (CD), introduced in the 2012 European Society for Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Nutrition guidelines, requires an anti-endomysial antibody (EMA) confirmatory serology test following a high-positive immunoglobulin A anti-tissue transglutaminase-2 (anti-TG2) antibody ≥10 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). The aim of this retrospective study is to compare EMA positivity and high-positive anti-TG2 in patients who had their confirmatory test within 2 months of their first high-positive anti-TG2 test. Among 933 patients who had high-positive anti-TG2 serology more than 10 times the ULN in their first sample, all had both high-positive anti-TG2 and positive EMA, most of them with very high EMA titers (99.

Background: There is potential for a paradigm shift from a biopsy-to a serology-based diagnosis of coeliac disease in selected adult patients. However, it remains unknown if this approach would be acceptable to patients. We aimed to explore patients' preferences regarding the no-biopsy approach for coeliac disease diagnosis.
