  • ↵* We searched PubMed for the period 1 January 1900 to 31 January 2011. Individual authors then examined papers deemed most relevant. When the phrase ‘coeliac disease’ is part of the definition, we searched PubMed for the relevant term and coeliac disease (British and American spelling). For example, ‘silent coeliac disease’ [All Fields] OR ‘silent coeliac disease’ [All Fields] AND (‘1900/01/01’ [PDAT]: ‘2011/01/31’ [PDAT]).

  • ↵† For these terms, our literature review was entirely based on expert consensus of the literature because it was beyond the scope of this paper to review all papers identified through PubMed (or as in the case of ‘paediatric classical CD’ there were no hits).

  • ↵‡ We searched for ‘coeliac disease autoimmunity’ and ‘coeliac autoimmunity’ (British and American spelling).

  • ↵§ A search for ‘gluten and antibodies’ yielded 2529 hits.

  • ↵ Although we discourage the use of the term ‘CD serology’, we have provided a definition for this term.
