We aimed determine whether CD is associated the diagnosis AN. METHODS: Register-based cohort and case-control study including women (n = 17 959) sex- age-matched population-based controls 89 379). (villous atrophy) was identified through histopathology records Sweden’s 28 pathology departments. Inpatient hospital-based outpatient...
Background & AimsCeliac disease (CD) is associated with increased mortality, in part due to cancer. Most studies investigating this cancer risk involved patients diagnosed before widespread increases CD diagnosis rates and access gluten-free food. We performed a population-based study of the CD.MethodsWe identified all Sweden as defined duodenal/jejunal villus atrophy, using Epidemiology Strengthened by histoPathology Reports cohort. Each patient was matched ≤5 controls age, sex, county....
OBJECTIVES: Although earlier studies suggest an increased risk of infectious disease in celiac (CD), data on the influenza patients with CD are limited. We examined hospital admission for patients, but comparative reasons also individuals small-intestinal inflammation or normal mucosa positive serology. METHODS: In 2006–2008, we collected duodenal/jejunal biopsy (Marsh 3: villous atrophy, VA;n=29,008 unique individuals) and 1–2;n=13,200) from all 28 pathology departments Sweden. A third...
Circumstantial evidence links 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D], D-binding protein (DBP), D-associated genes, and type 1 diabetes (T1D), but no studies have jointly analyzed these. We aimed to investigate whether DBP levels during pregnancy or at birth were associated with offspring T1D pathway genetic variants modified associations between DBP, 25(OH)D, T1D.From a cohort of >100,000 mother/child pairs, we 189 pairs where the child later developed 576 random control pairs. measured 25(OH)D...
Infections in early life have been linked to type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk, but no previous study has comprehensively analysed exposure antibiotics, acetaminophen and infections during pregnancy childhood relation offspring risk of T1D. Participants the Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study (n = 114 215 children, whom 403 children were diagnosed with T1D) reported medication use through repeated questionnaires from until 18 months old. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for T1D estimated Cox regression...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between amount of gluten intake in childhood and later celiac disease (CD), for which data are currently scarce. METHODS: The prospective Diabetes Autoimmunity Study Young cohort includes 1875 at-risk children with annual estimates (grams/d) from age 1 year. From 1993 through January 2017, 161 children, using repeated tissue transglutaminase (tTGA) screening, were identified CD autoimmunity (CDA) persistent tTGA positivity; these 85 fulfilled criteria...
To examine the association between early-life smoking exposure and later risk of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. We followed 115663 participants from Norwegian Mother, Father Child [MoBa] All Babies in Southeast Sweden [ABIS] cohorts birth [1997-2009] through 2021. IBD was identified national patient registers. Validated questionnaire data defined maternal during pregnancy, environmental tobacco smoke [ETS] child ETS by ages 12 36 months. Cox regression used to estimate adjusted hazard...
Abstract Aim To examine possible geographical and temporal differences in the incidence of childhood‐onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Norway, motivated by previous research indicating relevant environmental factors explaining changing epidemiology. Methods We analysed data from children born Norway 2004 to 2012 ( n = 541 036) a registry‐based nationwide study. After validating registry diagnoses against medical records, we defined IBD as ≥2 entries International Classification...
ABSTRACT Background Childhood antibiotic use has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although the potential contribution of infection frequency remains uncertain. Aims To explore association between early‐life infections, antibiotics and IBD development. Methods We used population‐based data from ABIS (Sweden) MoBa (Norway) cohorts following children birth (1997–2009) until 2021. Prospectively collected questionnaires identified (any, gastrointestinal respiratory)...
Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in females. Previous research has indicated a high prevalence of celiac disease (CD) TS, but data have mostly been limited to case series at tertiary centers. We aimed examine risk for CD individuals with TS compared general population.This Swedish nationwide case-control study included and controls born 1973-2006. The consisted 2 groups: (1) 7548 females biopsy-verified (villous atrophy; Marsh stage 3) diagnosed until...
