RESUMO
PURPOSE: To investigate the odds and associations of pregnancy outcomes with exposure to biopsy-confirmed celiac disease (CD) in Northeast Iran. METHODS: In this regional retrospective cohort study, pregnancy records of all women with celiac disease who visited Celiac Disease Clinic of Imam-Reza Hospital from 2017 to 2023 (exposed group) and a sample of women without CD (unexposed group) were extracted using the Electronic Health Record of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences called "Sina". The unexposed group was randomly selected of the database and matched to exposed group on age, location of residence, socioeconomic factors. Our exclusion criteria included age ≥ 45, presence of concomitant disorders, history of non-obstetric uterine surgery, induction of pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology, and any concurrently ongoing pregnancy at the time of study. Pregnancy outcomes evaluated in this study included normal delivery, miscarriage, preterm labor, preeclampsia, and stillbirth. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression adjusted for confounders. RESULTS: Ninety pregnancy records of women with CD and 270 pregnancies of women without CD were included in this study. Low neonatal birthweight (i.e. under 2500 g) had no significant association with CD (aOR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.92-1.06), as well as postpartum hemorrhage (aOR = 1.12, 95%CI = 0.91-1.38), fetal anomaly (aOR = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.69-1.15), miscarriage (aOR = 1.00, 95%CI = 0.91-1.10), ectopic pregnancy (aOR = 0.94, 95%CI = 0.73-1.20), preterm labor (aOR = 1.00, 95%CI = 0.92-1.10), gestational diabetes mellitus (aOR = 1.07, 95%CI = 0.98-1.16), gestational hypertension (aOR = 0.99, 95%CI = 0.89-1.11), and gestation hypothyroidism (aOR = 0.95, 95%CI = 0.82-1.11). However, we found significantly lower odds of preeclampsia in pregnancies affected by CD (aOR = 0.83, 95%CI = 0.69-0.99). CONCLUSION: Celiac disease was not associated with increased odds of low neonatal birthweight, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal anomaly, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, preterm labor, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension and gestational hypothyroidism. Preeclampsia had significantly lower odds in pregnancies affected with CD.

Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare disorder normally diagnosed in infancy. Case presentation: A 27-year-old man admitted with non-specific symptoms of CGD first underwent endoscopy, and colonoscopy procedures as primary evaluation of clinical presentation. Eighteen months after the first admission, he was referred to the emergency department for hematemesis, and critical situations, such as a severe anemic with Hgb= 2.6 mg/dl. As a result of this specific clinical presentation, urgent emergency treatment was performed, and endoscopic examination revealed ulcers and abnormalities in the duodenal bulb and jejunum. Other imaging procedures, such as sonography, and abdominal CT scans, showed splenomegaly. He underwent splenectomy, and after that, endoscopic treatment with balloon TTS dilation was scheduled, but this procedure failed. So, we decided to do a gastro-jujenostomy that alleviated the clinical symptoms. After nine months, he was referred to GOO, and endoscopic evaluation showed giant ulceration with severe stricture in the duodenum, and a polyp in the jejunostomy. Finally, Based on clinical presentation and pathologic evidence of biopsies, the patient approached CGD as the final diagnosis. Conclusion: Step-by-step, rule out of different highly suspicious diseases may result in a definite CGD diagnosis, and rapid management of these patients may increase the chance of survival.
