Pediatric Celiac Disease Index: CELIAC-Q KIDS
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Celiac disease is very common in Canada and is found in 1% of our population. Pediatricians, nurses and registered dietitians that care for children with celiac disease do not know the outcomes that are most important to children and their families. Understanding the ongoing symptoms of celiac disease in children will help us to assess important outcomes in celiac disease and improve how we take care of these patients.
We are currently developing a patient-reported outcome measure, the Pediatric Celiac Symptom Index, that will guide doctors, nurses and registered dietitians as to the questions to ask about how children with celiac disease physically feel. Similar to the patient-reported outcome measures that exist for adults with celiac disease, our patient-reported outcome measure will be distributed and made available worldwide which can have a large impact in both research and clinical care for children with celiac disease.
A patient-reported outcome measure requires expert training in a specific type of research that uses one-on-one interviews to determine what is most important to children with celiac disease and their families and then combines the results of many interviews to create a score.
