Résumé
The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) and hypothyroidism exhibit significant variation in different studies among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). This study evaluated the frequency of laboratory test abnormalities in children and adolescents with CHD in Shiraz, Iran. This prospective case-control study was conducted on 223 children and adolescents with CHD and healthy individuals referred to the heart clinic affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between February 2019 and December 2021. They were classified into case and control groups. Blood tests were performed for total IgA antibody, anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody (anti-TTG Ab), T4, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in serum, along with transthoracic echocardiography. Likewise, demographic characteristics of patients, including age, sex, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI), were recorded. Also, anti-TTG Ab levels were compared among CHD patients according to cyanosis status, gender, age (above and below five years), and BMI (under and over 18.5). Ninety-eight CHD patients and 100 healthy individuals with an average age of 5.32 ± 4.05 years (1-18 years) were examined. In children with CHD, atrial septal defect (27%), ventricular septal defect (20%), and tetralogy of Fallot (13%) were the most prevalent disorders. Only one CHD patient had an anti-TTG Ab level of 16.6 unit/mL, considered borderline for seropositive CD diagnosis. There was no difference in anti-TTG Ab levels between age (above and below five years), BMI (under and over 18.5), cyanosis status, and gender groups. Seven CHD patients had high TSH levels, three had cyanotic CHD, and one had Down syndrome. The TSH levels and non-autoimmune hypothyroidism were significantly higher in CHD patients than in normal subjects (p < 0.05). According to the results of this study, the serum level of TSH and prevalence of non-autoimmune hypothyroidism were higher in patients with CHD than in normal subjects, but the serum level of anti-TTG Ab was not different between the two groups.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) and hypothyroidism exhibit significant variation in different studies among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). This study evaluated the frequency of laboratory test abnormalities in children and adolescents with CHD in Shiraz, Iran.
METHODS
METHODS
This prospective case-control study was conducted on 223 children and adolescents with CHD and healthy individuals referred to the heart clinic affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between February 2019 and December 2021. They were classified into case and control groups. Blood tests were performed for total IgA antibody, anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody (anti-TTG Ab), T4, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in serum, along with transthoracic echocardiography. Likewise, demographic characteristics of patients, including age, sex, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI), were recorded. Also, anti-TTG Ab levels were compared among CHD patients according to cyanosis status, gender, age (above and below five years), and BMI (under and over 18.5).
RESULTS
RESULTS
Ninety-eight CHD patients and 100 healthy individuals with an average age of 5.32 ± 4.05 years (1-18 years) were examined. In children with CHD, atrial septal defect (27%), ventricular septal defect (20%), and tetralogy of Fallot (13%) were the most prevalent disorders. Only one CHD patient had an anti-TTG Ab level of 16.6 unit/mL, considered borderline for seropositive CD diagnosis. There was no difference in anti-TTG Ab levels between age (above and below five years), BMI (under and over 18.5), cyanosis status, and gender groups. Seven CHD patients had high TSH levels, three had cyanotic CHD, and one had Down syndrome. The TSH levels and non-autoimmune hypothyroidism were significantly higher in CHD patients than in normal subjects (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
According to the results of this study, the serum level of TSH and prevalence of non-autoimmune hypothyroidism were higher in patients with CHD than in normal subjects, but the serum level of anti-TTG Ab was not different between the two groups.
