Treatment burden of celiac disease in comparison with non-celiac chronic illnesses

*CD= Celiac disease, HTN= Hypertension, DM=Diabetes Mellitus, CHF=Congestive heart failure, ESRD=End-stage renal disease, GERD=gastroesophageal reflux disease, IBD=inflammatory bowel disease, IBS=irritable bowel syndrome

**VAS: score of zero=very easy, score of one hundred=very difficult

***Mean Scores: CD 44.9 (SD 30.9), GERD 21.3 (SD 25.3), HTN 23.5 (SD 25.7), IBD 31.9 (SD 27.7), CHF 38.5 (SD 31), IBS 40.4 (SD 24.4), DM 41.7 (SD 30.4), ESRD 56.4 (SD 31.9)

****Based on results of post-hoc multiple comparisons, treatment burden was statistically significant for the following groups: CD vs GERD (p value < 0.001), CD vs HTN (p value < 0.001), GERD vs ESRD (p value 0.01), GERD vs DM (p value 0.04). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
