Impact of Diagnostic Delay and Other Risk Factors on Eosinophilic Esophagitis Phenotype and Esophageal Diameter

Abstract

In our US population, a delay in diagnosis was shown to be associated with stricture formation in EoE confirming the Swiss experience. The results show the importance of reducing the diagnostic delay in EoE as there appears to be progression to fibrosis over time, aggravated by common medications and social habits.
