Risco de infertilidade em pacientes com doença celíaca: uma meta-análise de estudos observacionais

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Contexto

A doença celíaca é uma doença auto imune do intestino delgado associada a manifestações extra-intestinais, tais como distúrbios reprodutivos. A relação entre a doença celíaca e a infertilidade foi previamente avaliada, com resultados conflitantes.

Objetivos

Procuramos determinar a relação entre a doença celíaca e a infertilidade.

Métodos

Utilizou-se dados extraídos de estudos de projeto de caso-controle ou coorte de 1966 à dezembro de 2013 utilizando o MEDLINE-Pubmed, EMBASE, LILACS e Cochrane Library. Foram analisados dois tipos de ensaios: os que avaliam o risco de infertilidade em pacientes com doença celíaca já diagnosticados e, os que avaliam a prevalência da doença celíaca não diagnosticada em indivíduos com diagnóstico de infertilidade.

Resultados

A busca resultou em 413 estudos potencialmente relevantes para a revisão, 12 dos quais foram finalmente incluídos para análise. Foi encontrada uma associação significativa entre as mulheres com diagnóstico de infertilidade e doença celíaca não diagnosticada [TR 3,09 (IC 95% 1,74-5,49)]. Ao considerar esses estudos avaliando a ocorrência de infertilidade em pacientes com doença celíaca já diagnosticada, não foi encontrada diferença entre os pacientes com doença celíaca e controles [TR 0,99 (0,86-1,13)].

Conclusões

A falta de diagnóstico para a doença celíaca é um fator de risco para a infertilidade. As mulheres que procuram o conselho médico para esta condição particular, devem ser examinados para a doença celíaca. A adoção de uma dieta sem glúten pode ter um impacto positivo sobre a fertilidade neste grupo de pacientes.
