Physician awareness of celiac disease (CD) is low, with many underestimating its prevalence and diagnostic criteria. Improved education is crucial for better diagnosis of this common gastrointestinal disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Celiac disease (CD) affects approximately 1% of the population but is often underdiagnosed.
  • Limited research exists on medical professionals' awareness of CD, a key factor in underdiagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess physicians' knowledge regarding the general features, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of celiac disease in adult patients.

Main Methods:

  • A survey with an 18-item questionnaire was distributed to physicians from various specialties at a university center.
  • The questionnaire covered general aspects, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of CD.

Main Results:

  • Nearly 70% of physicians incorrectly perceived CD as rare.

  • Gastroenterologists were more likely to recognize the increased risk of lymphoma and recommend biopsy confirmation.
  • Commonly associated conditions included chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and iron-deficiency anemia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Physician awareness regarding key CD features and diagnostic guidelines is inadequate.
    • Enhanced educational initiatives are necessary to improve physicians' understanding of CD across different specialties.
