Eosinophilic Esophagitis: real-life outcomes over 10 years in a Canadian pediatric centre

This Canadian study reveals remission rates lower than short term studies, but a reduction in strictures in follow-up. Real-life challenges, such as not returning for follow up endoscopy (∼20%), despite no direct care costs, challenges with adherence with ∼20% not taking any therapy and over half not taking medications as prescribed contribute towards remission rates below 50% regardless of treatment. Better patient engagement, addressing barriers to treatment and follow up and exploring novel therapies are needed.
