Aplicación racional de las recomendaciones ESPGHAN 2022 de seguimiento del paciente celíaco pediátrico: documento de consenso de sociedades científicas (SEGHNP, AEPap, SEPEAP, SEEC, AEG, SEPD, SEMFYC, SEMG y SEMERGEN)

Abstract

Coeliac disease is a common condition for which the only current treatment is a gluten-free diet. Adherence to this diet is not always easy and is associated with a reduction in quality of life for the patient and their family. Non-adherence is associated with complications of varying severity. The lack of control at the outpatient care level in a high percentage of these patients evinces the need to improve follow-up protocols and the approach to care delivery with coordination of paediatric gastroenterology units (and primary care paediatricians. With this aim in mind, the present document was developed by consensus to offer a set of recommendations adapted to our region, based on the recent recommendations published by the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN), and with participation of the pertinent scientific societies, including those concerning the adult population, for the management and followup of adolescents and the transition to adult care.
