Overview

Survey reveals disease burden in eosinophilic esophagitis is substantial, indicating similar impairment to inflammatory bowel disease.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the disease burden of eosinophilic esophagitis in comparison to other immune-mediated diseases.
  • Survey distributed via Swiss patient organizations
  • Assessment of baseline characteristics and quality of life
  • Evaluation of disease-related impairment across work, leisure, and social life
  • Overall, 608 patients participated, with notable responses from eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease cohorts.
  • EoE patients reported significant impairment, especially in leisure activities, comparable to Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
  • Higher impairment observed in women and those with longer diagnostic delays across all immune-mediated disease states.
