Acid Suppression and Antibiotics Administered during Infancy Are Associated with Celiac Disease - 14/03/23
Abstract |
Objective |
To investigate why certain at-risk individuals develop celiac disease (CD), we examined the association of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), and antibiotic prescriptions in the first 6 months of life with an early childhood diagnosis of CD.
Study design |
A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Military Healthcare System database. Children with a birth record from October 1, 2001, to 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. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes identified children with an outpatient visit for CD.
Results |
There were 968 524 children who met the inclusion criteria with 1704 cases of CD in this group. The median follow-up for the cohort was approximately 4.5 years. PPIs (HR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.76-2.83), H2RAs (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 CD.
Conclusions |
There is an increased risk of developing CD if antibiotics, PPIs and H2RAs 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.
