Psychological General Well-Being and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale subscores in adults.

Coeliac disease patients were first divided into those diagnosed in childhood via risk-group screening (n = 48) and due to clinical suspicion (n = 188) ((a) and (b)), and the group of screen-detected patients was then further divided into those who were asymptomatic (n = 27) and symptomatic (n = 21) at diagnosis (c). The corresponding values for 110 non-coeliac adults are shown for comparison. Higher scores indicate either better psychological well-being ((a) and (c)) or more severe symptoms (b). Differences between the groups were evaluated by Kruskal–Wallis test and Bonferroni correction was used in pair-wise post hoc comparisons. Median (horizontal line), interquartile range (box), and minimum and maximum values (vertical line) of the scores are presented for each patient group.
