Acid Suppression and Antibiotics Administered During Infancy Are Associated with Celiac Disease

Author/s: 
Boechler, M., Susi, A., Hisle-Gorman, E., Rogers, P. L., Nylund, C. M.

Objective
To investigate why certain at-risk individuals develop celiac disease, we examined the association of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA), and antibiotic prescriptions in the first six months of life with an early childhood diagnosis of celiac disease.
Study design
A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Military Healthcare System (MHS) database. Children with a birth record from October 1, 2001- September 30, 2013, were identified. Outpatient prescription records were queried for antibiotic, PPI, and H2RA prescriptions in the first 6 months of life. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) of developing CD based on medication exposure. ICD-9 codes identified children with an outpatient visit for celiac disease.
Results
968,524 children met inclusion criteria with 1,704 cases of celiac in this group. Median follow up for the cohort was about 4.5 years. PPI’s (HR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.76-2.83), H2RA’s (HR, 1.94 95% CI, 1.67-2.26) and antibiotics (HR 1.14 95%CI 1.02-1.28) were all associated with an increased hazard of celiac disease.
Conclusion
There is an increased risk of developing celiac disease if antibiotics, PPI’s and H2RA’s are prescribed in the first 6 months of life. Our study highlights modifiable factors such as medication stewardship that may change the childhood risk of CD.

Screening for Gestational Diabetes: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement

Author/s: 
US Preventive Services Task Force, Davidson, K. W., Barry, M. J., Mangione, C. M., Cabana, M., Caughey, A. B., Davis, E. M., Donahue, K. E., Doubeni, C. A., Kubik, M., Li, L., Ogedegbe, G., Pbert, L., Silberstein, M., Stevermer, J., Tseng, C., Wong, J. B.

Importance: Gestational diabetes is diabetes that develops during pregnancy. Prevalence of gestational diabetes in the US has been estimated at 5.8% to 9.2%, based on traditional diagnostic criteria, although it may be higher if more inclusive criteria are used. Pregnant persons with gestational diabetes are at increased risk for maternal and fetal complications, including preeclampsia, fetal macrosomia (which can cause shoulder dystocia and birth injury), and neonatal hypoglycemia. Gestational diabetes has also been associated with an increased risk of several long-term health outcomes in pregnant persons and intermediate outcomes in their offspring.

Objective: The USPSTF commissioned a systematic review to evaluate the accuracy, benefits, and harms of screening for gestational diabetes and the benefits and harms of treatment for the pregnant person and infant.

Population: Pregnant persons who have not been previously diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Evidence assessment: The USPSTF concludes with moderate certainty that there is a moderate net benefit to screening for gestational diabetes at 24 weeks of gestation or after to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. The USPSTF concludes that the evidence on screening for gestational diabetes before 24 weeks of gestation is insufficient, and the balance of benefits and harms of screening cannot be determined.

Recommendation: The USPSTF recommends screening for gestational diabetes in asymptomatic pregnant persons at 24 weeks of gestation or after. (B recommendation) The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for gestational diabetes in asymptomatic pregnant persons before 24 weeks of gestation.
