Data on Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal cancer (EC) outcomes in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are limited. We aimed to determine the risk of prevalent BE (<1 year after endoscopy), incident BE (≥1 year after endoscopy), and incident EC in patients with versus without EoE, and to identify predictors of BE/EC in EoE patients. We identified adult patients in the Merative MarketScan Database who underwent first-time upper endoscopy between 2008 and 2020.

  • The incidence of EoE is rising, requiring attention in various medical settings, leading to updated guidelines that focus on improved diagnosis and treatment strategies.
  • Recommended treatments include proton pump inhibitors, topical steroids, dietary elimination, and esophageal dilation, with an emphasis on monitoring patients for treatment response and managing both inflammatory and structural aspects of the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic condition caused by eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus, mainly triggered by food and air allergens.
  • A 4-year-old boy diagnosed with EoE showed improvement with topical steroids, and by age 7, he also developed a grass pollen allergy.
  • Significant increases in eosinophil counts and pediatric symptom scores were noted from winter to spring, suggesting that environmental allergens may play a role in EoE, which could influence treatment timing and strategies during allergy seasons.
