Abstract
Coeliac disease (CD) is common yet underdiagnosed. 12.4% CD patients had a gastroscopy within 5 years without duodenal biopsies taken, and coeliac serology was performed in only 30% of patients with anaemia or suspected CD. A pre-endoscopy point of care test (POCT) could potentially fill this gap. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and acceptability of the POCT, Simtomax (IgA/IgG-deamidated gliadin peptide, Tillotts Pharma, Rheinfelden, Switzerland), in detecting CD.
