Utility of Gastric and Duodenal Biopsies During Follow‐up Endoscopy in Children With Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Abstract

Gastric and duodenal biopsies obtained in EoE patients during follow-up endoscopy show pathology in a minority of patients, increase costs, and may add potential risk of adverse events. Large multicenter, prospective studies of endoscopic practice during follow-up of EoE are warranted to provide evidence supporting best practices.
