Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Romania
Our study found the prevalence of CD in a Romanian population to be slightly higher than the global average, highlighting the effectiveness of rapid diagnostic tests followed by histological confirmation. The significant regional variability in CD prevalence suggests the need for further research into environmental, dietary, and genetic factors, along with enhanced awareness and improved diagnostic protocols to better manage and prevent long-term complications of CD.
