Of a total of 10597 single birth infants from Southeast Sweden, 53 infants had a mother with coeliac disease (father 27, sibling 70, other close relative 442). Adjusted odds ratios and adjusted differences for neonatal outcome were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Infants whose father suffered from coeliac disease had a lower birth weight (95% adjusted confidence interval (CI) \u2212459, \u221272 g), more often belonged to the low birth weight (LBW) category (LBW \u2a7d2499 g) (95% CI adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.48\u201317.18), and had a shorter pregnancy duration (95% adjusted CI \u22121.53, \u22120.08 weeks) than non-coeliac controls. They also weighed less than infants whose father suffered from other autoimmune diseases (95% CI \u2212549, \u221293 g). Infants whose mother suffered from coeliac disease had a lower birth weight (95% adjusted CI \u2212370, \u221274 g) and more often belonged to the LBW category (95% CI AOR 2.60\u201315.08) than non-coeliac controls. These infants were more often in the LBW category than infants whose mother suffered from non-diabetic autoimmune diseases (95% CI AOR 1.24\u20139.65). Coeliac disease in other relatives was not associated with any adverse effect on neonatal outcome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study suggests that even treated coeliac disease, in either of the parents, has a negative effect on pregnancy, resulting in lower birth weight and perhaps shorter duration of pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.49.2.169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T06:37:59Z","timestamp":1027751879000},"page":"169-175","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Coeliac disease in the father affects the newborn"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"J F","family":"Ludvigsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatric Department, \u00d6rebro Medical Centre Hospital, Sweden, \n\nbDivision of Paediatrics, Department of Health and Environment, Faculty of Health Sciences, Link\u00f6ping University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Ludvigsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aPaediatric Department, \u00d6rebro Medical Centre Hospital, Sweden, \n\nbDivision of Paediatrics, Department of Health and Environment, Faculty of Health Sciences, Link\u00f6ping University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090714131910000_49.2.169.1","unstructured":"Behrman RE Kliegman RM Jenson HB (2000) Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics (WB Saunders Company, Philadelphia), 16th edn."},{"key":"2025090714131910000_49.2.169.2","first-page":"1019","volume":"303","author":"Hales","year":"1991","journal-title":", et al.
