Esophageal mechanical properties in different stages of pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis and based on different therapy interventions
Assessment of esophageal mechanical properties using EndoFLIP provides valuable information on disease severity in pediatric EoE. In our cohort, histological remission achieved with therapies such as proton pump inhibitors, topical steroids, and dupilumab was associated with improved distensibility and diameter at the EGJ. However, a subset of patients continued to demonstrate abnormal EndoFLIP findings despite histologic improvement.
