Esophageal Distensibility as a Measure of Disease Severity in Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Reduced esophageal distensibility predicts risk for food impaction and the requirement for esophageal dilation in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. The severity of mucosal eosinophilia was not predictive of these outcomes and had a poor correlation with esophageal distensibility.
