Declarations
:
: The Umeå SIMSAM Lab infrastructure, including the National Swedish Childhood Celiac Disease Register, has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Umeå University (EPN 2018/99–31). The National Swedish Childhood Celiac Disease Register has been ethically approved (dnr 4741–92 and dnr 370–97). All newly diagnosed children with celiac disease and their legal guardian were informed about the register. Participants (when age appropriate) in the National Swedish Childhood Celiac Disease Register and their legal guardian have given informed consent for participation in the register. All data in this study was anonymized. Since this was a register-based study, and the data were anonymized it was not possible to obtain informed consent from each participant for this study. Information about this study and a chance to opt-out was announced through the Swedish Celiac Disease Foundation, reaching nearly all individuals with celiac disease in Sweden. No one opted out. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
