| Popis: | OBJECTIVES Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus that requires esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. We aimed to identify the frequency of endoscopic monitoring in children with EoE and observe the effect of age, race, socioeconomic factors, and atopy on the rate of endoscopy. METHODS We queried the Pediatric Health Information System over a 15-year period for ambulatory EGDs in children with EoE. Subjects with at least 1 year of data were included. Age, sex, ethnicity, race, insurance type, median household income, and atopy were collected for each subject. RESULTS 16,517 subjects were included (mean age 8.5 years). 3211 (19%) of subjects had ≥1 EGD per subject year (EGD/SY). Subjects >13 years old were more likely to have ≥1 EGD/SY compared to children 6-12 years (odds ratio [OR] 2.29, P |
