BackgroundSerological testing is routinely used to detect celiac disease, but can miss cases that are antibody negative. Duodenal biopsy is often used to confirm diagnosis, but this practice has not been fully evaluated.ObjectiveTo devise and test a clinical decision-making tool that can exclude celiac disease in a substantial number of patients referred for gastroscopy without the need to perform duodenal biopsy.
