Article Synopsis
- Cannabis use is rising among people for both recreational and medical reasons, but there isn't much research on its effects in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
- A study involved 983 newly diagnosed EoE patients, with 80 reporting cannabis use, mainly through inhalation and daily consumption.
- Findings indicated that cannabis users had milder initial symptoms but showed worse inflammatory responses after treatment compared to non-users, suggesting that cannabis may negatively affect EoE management.
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with atopic and immune-mediated diseases but has not been extensively assessed in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We aimed to assess if vitamin D levels in newly diagnosed EoE patients were lower than in non-EoE controls and examine levels in relation to EoE clinical features.
Methods: This secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study used data and biosamples from adults who underwent outpatient esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
