Methods During a recent trial, data were entered into FileMaker Pro, a commercially available software, at enrollment and three waves of follow-up. an off-the-shelf software to develop a technique to generate CONSORT diagrams automatically. However, because many trials enter data electronically, CONSORT diagrams may be generated in an automated fashion. Depending on how data are collected, this can be a laborious, time-intensive process. Pediatrics 2005 (N=168) Current study (N=323)īackground Investigators conducting prospective clinical trials must report patient flow using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement. Early recognition could be associated with early diagnosis and overall wellbeing. Hence, primary caregiver must be aware of these trends in clinical presentation. Non-digestive symptoms were present in one-third of patients. The median age at diagnosis in our cohort was higher than in the past study (3 years).

A diagnosis of CD was established when the duodenal biopsies displayed a Marsh classification ≥2. A database was created with Filemaker pro software to collect the age at diagnosis, anthropometric data, clinical symptoms at diagnosis, associated diseases and intestinal biopsy results. Data collection was performed using patient medical records. We identified all cases of CD seen in the gastroenterology unit between January 2015 and September 2017. To describe the current presentation of CD in children in a tertiary hospital in Quebec and compare it to data from a historical Canadian cohort.

However, extra-digestive manifestations appear more common nowadays and may be associated with a delay in diagnosis. Digestive symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and bloating. Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated condition that affects the intestinal mucosa of children at any age.
