Abstract

Objectives To study celiac-specific antibody status over 3 years in patients with type 1 diabetes and biopsy-proven celiac disease (T1D + CD). Furthermore, to determine clinical differences after diagnosis between patients reaching constant antibody-negativity (Ab-neg) and staying antibody-positive (Ab-pos). Methods A total of 608 pediatric T1D + CD patients from the multicenter DPV registry were studied longitudinally regarding their CD specific antibody-status. Differences between Ab-neg (n = 218) and Ab-pos (n = 158) patients 3 years after biopsy were assessed and compared with 26 833 T1D patients without CD by linear and logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, diabetes duration and migration background. Results Thirty-six percent of T1D + CD patients reached and sustained antibody-negativity 3 years after CD diagnosis. The median time until patients returned to Ab-neg was 0.86 (0.51;1.16) years. Three years after diagnosis, HbA1c was lowest in Ab-neg and highest in Ab-pos patients compared to T1D-only patients (adjusted mean (95%CI): 7.72 (7.51-7.92) % vs 8.44 (8.20-8.68) % vs 8.19 (8.17-8.21) %, adjusted P < 0.001, respectively). Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and frequency of dyslipidemia were significantly lower in Ab-neg compared to T1D-only patients (167 (161-173) mg/dl vs 179 (178-179) mg/dl, P < .001;90 (84-96) mg/dl vs 99 (98-99) mg/dl, P = .005;15.7 (10.5-22.9) % vs 25.9 (25.2-26.6) %, P = .017). In longitudinal analyses over 6 years after diagnosis, a constantly higher HbA1c (P < .001) and a lower height-SDS (P = .044) was observed in Ab-pos compared to Ab-neg patients. Conclusion Only one third of T1D + CD patients reached constant Ab-negativity after CD diagnosis. Achieving Ab-negativity after diagnosis seems to be associated with better metabolic control and growth, supposedly due to a higher adherence to therapy in general.
