Abstract
Numerous age-based differences in the management of symptomatic patients with esophageal eosinophilia existed in this cohort. Adults were significantly less likely than children to receive a clinical diagnosis of EoE, allergy referral, or steroid treatment, or to have a repeated biopsy. Even when stratified for an 8-week prebiopsy proton-pump inhibitor trial, advancing age was associated with lower odds of referral or repeated biopsy. Further study is necessary to better understand why discrepancies exist and their potential ramifications.
