Eosinophilic esophagitis patients report substantial disease burden comparable to more systemic immune-mediated diseases
EoE patients' perceived impairment in everyday life, particularly within subdomains such as leisure, is substantial and comparable to that experienced by patients with other immune-mediated disease states, including IBD. Notably, patient-perceived impairment was higher among female EoE patients and those with a longer diagnostic delay.
