    Celiac.com 10/17/2016 - Refractory celiac disease is a severe condition with few good treatment options, and which often eventually results in death. A group of researchers recently set out to create a prognostic model to estimate survival of patients with refractory celiac disease.

    The research team included A. Rubio-Tapia, G. Malamut, W. H. M. Verbeek, R. L. J. van Wanrooij, D. A. Leffler, S. I. Niveloni, C. Arguelles-Grande, B. D. Lahr, A. R. Zinsmeister, J. A. Murray, C. P. Kelly, J. C. Bai, P. H. Green, S. Daum, C. J. J. Mulder, and C. Cellier. They are variously affiliated with the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA, the Hopital Europeen Georges-Pompidou, Paris, France, the Hospital Dr. Carlos Nonorino Udaondo, Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY, USA, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA, the Charite-University Medicine Berlin, Berlin, Germany, and the VU University Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

    Before setting up their prognostic model, the team first assessed predictors of 5-year mortality using Cox proportional hazards regression on subjects from a multinational registry. The team used bootstrap resampling to internally validate the individual factors and overall model performance. To calculate a risk score for 5-year mortality, the team averaged all estimated regression coefficients gathered from 400 bootstrap models that they formulated from their multinational cohort of 232 patients diagnosed with refractory celiac disease across seven centers.

    Average patient age was 53 years and the group included 150 women out of the 232 patient total. A total of 51 subjects died during a 5-year follow-up, which put the cumulative 5-year all-cause mortality at 30%.

    The results from a multiple variable Cox proportional hazards model showed that the following variables were significantly associated with 5-year mortality: age at refractory celiac disease diagnosis (per 20 year increase, hazard ratio = 2.21; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.38–3.55), abnormal intraepithelial lymphocytes (hazard ratio = 2.85; 95% CI: 1.22–6.62), and albumin (per 0.5 unit increase, hazard ratio = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61–0.85). A simple weighted three-factor risk score was created to estimate 5-year survival.

    The team's prognostic model for predicting 5-year mortality among patients with refractory celiac disease may help clinicians to guide treatment and follow-up.

    I guess I would need to know what refractory celiac disease is compared to regular celiac disease. It would have been nice to have a little description, but I will look it up.

    Celiac.com 04/07/2014 - Histologically non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD) is a potentially serious condition found in celiac disease patients who suffer persistent villous atrophy despite following a gluten-free diet (GFD).
    Currently, the only way to monitor patient progress rely on invasive and costly serial duodenal biopsies. Looking for better options, a team of researchers recently set out to identify antibody biomarkers for celiac disease patients that do not respond to traditional therapy.
    The research team included B. N. Spatola, K. Kaukinen, P. Collin, M. Mäki, M. F. Kagnoff, and P. S. Daugherty. They are affiliated with the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara in California, the Department of Gastroenterology and Alimentary ...

    Celiac.com 06/17/2015 - Refractory celiac disease type II (RCDII) and EATL (Enteropathy Associated T-cell Lymphoma) are pre-malignant complications of celiac disease. However, there is scant medical literature and data what role malnutrition and intestinal absorption may play in these conditions.
    With this in mind, a team of researchers set out to conduct a comprehensive assessment of nutritional status and intestinal absorption capacity of patients with RCDII and EATL, and to compare that with data of newly diagnosed celiac disease patients. The research team included N.J. Wierdsma, P. Nijeboer, M.A. de van der Schueren, M. Berkenpas, A.A. van Bodegraven, and C.J. Mulder.
    They are affiliated with the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, the Department of Gastroenterology, the...

    Celiac.com 05/24/2016 - People with type II refractory celiac disease (RCD), suffer from severe malabsorption syndrome and face a poor prognosis, as there is currently no effective treatment.
    Prompted by the regenerative and immune-influencing properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a research team recently set out to assess the viability, safety, and efficacy of a series of infusions of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs in a 51-year-old woman with type II RCD.
    The research team included R Ciccocioppo, A Gallia, MA Avanzini, E Betti, C Picone, A Vanoli, C Paganini, F Biagi, R Maccario, and GR Corazza.

    Celiac.com 07/11/2016 - Collagenous sprue is a rare form of small bowel enteropathy characterized by a thickened basement membrane and is considered to be directly related to celiac disease.
    Doctors have numerous treatment strategies for celiac sprue, but there is currently no effective standardized therapy. One medical team recently described four cases of celiac sprue and proposes thioguanine (6-TG) treatment, based on their results.
    The research team included Tom van Gils, Tine van de Donk, Gerd Bouma, Foke van Delft, E Andra Neefjes-Borst, and Chris JJ Mulder. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Department of Pathology, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands...
