Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of eosinophilic esophagitis in adults and children in Canada: a Delphi consensus project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus that effects both pediatrics and adult patients in Canada and is increasing in prevalence. No Canadian focused best practice recommendations currently exist to guide clinical practice.

Methods

The study used a modified Delphi technique to develop evidence and expert opinion-based recommendations for providing care for patients with EoE. The Delphi process consisted of 3 rounds of quantitative surveys and qualitative consensus meetings. Experts were included in the Delphi if they had experience caring for EoE patients in Canada within one of the following professional groups: allergist, adult gastroenterologists, pathologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, and dieticians.
