The impact of diagnosis on health-related quality of life in people with coeliac disease: a UK population-based longitudinal perspective

Abstract

Undiagnosed coeliac disease is associated with a substantial decrement in quality of life. Time to diagnosis has not significantly shortened over the decade 2006-2015, but symptoms are less severe when diagnosis occurs. Harmonising clinical guidelines for intensified active case finding will help improve quality of life of people with coeliac disease.
