The Association of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) remains unclear. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between EoE, IBD, and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Methods

A systematic literature search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Ovid) from inception to July 2023. The primary outcome was to compare the frequency of an EoE diagnosis in IBD and other immune-mediated inflammatory disease processes versus control populations. Where pooled analysis was possible, we reported odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). I2 values were used to report heterogeneity, with values >50% suggesting substantia
