The rising incidence of eosinophilic oesophagitis is associated with increasing biopsy rates: a population‐based study

Abstract

The incidence of eosinophilic oesophagitis continues to rise in the general population, in part due to increasing oesophageal biopsy rates and a more detailed histological evaluation of specimens. The biopsy rate of an endoscopist is an indicator for a higher diagnostic yield.
