There is a long way from current clinical practice in Denmark compared to recent published English guideline on management of children with eosinophilic oesophagitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A low incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children in the North Denmark Region (NDR) were measured in 2007-2017. Few of the children diagnosed before 2017 were treated to remission suggesting a lack of awareness. While there currently are no guidelines for treating EoE in Denmark, a new English guideline was published in 2022 renewing focus on the disease.

Objective

The aim of this study was to measure the difference of current Danish clinical practice for treatment and follow-up of EoE children in the NDR with the new English guideline from the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) and the British Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN).
