Low biopsy rates and proton pump inhibitors use limit detection of eosinophilic esophagitis in Mexican patients with dysphagia
In this Mexican dysphagia cohort, biopsy uptake was suboptimal and examinations frequently occurred under PPI therapy, likely contributing to underdetection. As one of the first large studies in an adult Hispanic population, our findings emphasize how local practices impact EoE detection. Implementing systematic biopsy protocols and enhancing clinician awareness may improve diagnostic yield in Mexico.
