Prevalence and Impact of Malnutrition in Hospitalizations Among Celiac Diseases: A Nationwide Analysis

Abstract

Background/Aims: Celiac disease (CD) is a T-cell-mediated gluten sensitivity that results in villous atrophy in the small intestine, leading to chronic malabsorption. Patients with celiac disease are prone to malnutrition. We assessed the impact of malnutrition on in-hospital outcomes in patients with CD.
