Perceived disease-specific health 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=best imaginable health, score of one hundred=worst imaginable health

***Mean Scores: CD 81.6 (SD 18), GERD 74.6 (SD 18.4), HTN 76.8(18.4), IBD 74.3 (SD 24.9), CHF 65.8 (SD 19.4), IBS 65.2 (SD 20.7), DM 71.2 (SD 22.7), ESRD 59.4 (SD 22.2)

****Based on results of post-hoc multiple comparisons, disease specific health was statistically significant for the following groups: CD vs IBS (p value 0.003), CD vs ESRD (p value 0.003), CD vs DM (p value 0.028), CD vs CHF (p value 0.002). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
