Longitudinal Growth Outcomes Following First‐line Treatment for Pediatric Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Abstract

Treatment of EoE, in general, is not associated with major anthropometric growth changes in most pediatric patients. Slight linear growth impairment was observed for topical steroid treatment, and sex differences in growth by treatment approach were observed. Future prospective studies should evaluate the effect of treatment on optimal growth and development and over a longer period of follow-up.
