The association between socioeconomic status and the symptoms at diagnosis of celiac disease: a retrospective cohort study
Conclusions:
Patients with nonclassical symptoms of celiac disease are less likely to be diagnosed if they are of lower socioeconomic status. Celiac disease may be under-recognized in this population due to socioeconomic factors that possibly include lower rates of health-seeking behavior and access to healthcare.
