Disease burden, diagnosis pathways and treatment patterns in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis: a real-world study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite a rising prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), real-world data on current management challenges remain limited.

Objective

To evaluate demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and health outcomes in patients with EoE.

Methods

Physicians from Canada, France, Germany, Spain, and the UK retrospectively reviewed records of patients (aged ≥12 years) who were newly diagnosed with EoE between January 2009 and December 2019. EoE diagnosis was confirmed by esophageal biopsy demonstrating a peak eosinophil count ≥15 eosinophils/high-power field (eos/hpf) within 90 days before or after the documented diagnosis (index). Included patients had ≥1 follow-up endoscopy with biopsy and known eosinophil count within 24 months. Data on demog
