ABSTRACT Introduction The rapid expansion in the epidemiology of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is being documented, along with cumulative research assessing environmental exposures associated with EoE and susceptibility due to genetic variants. Areas covered Incidence rates for EoE of 5–10 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants annually have shown an increase in recent reports of up to 20 in some countries; the highest prevalence being reported for Europe and North America, where EoE now affects…

Accurate and timely diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis improves over time in Europe. An analysis of the EoE CONNECT Registry.
TLDR
The diagnostic work-up of Eosinophilic esophagitis patients improved substantially over time at the European sites contributing to EoE CONNECT, with a dramatic reduction in diagnostic delay.
EoE CONNECT, the European Registry of Clinical, Environmental, and Genetic Determinants in Eosinophilic Esophagitis: rationale, design, and study protocol of a large-scale epidemiological study in Europe
TLDR
This prospective registry study will provide important information on the epidemiological and clinical aspects of EoE and evidence as to the real-world and long-term effectiveness and safety of therapy.
Dietary Management of Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Tailoring the Approach
TLDR
Dietary therapy offers a long-term, drug-free alternative to patients who wish to remain off drugs and still be in remission, and tailoring of diets, as well as currently available dietary regimens for EoE are discussed.
Searching for Noninvasive Predictors of the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Eosinophilic Esophagitis—The Importance of Biomarkers of the Inflammatory Reaction Involving Eosinophils
TLDR
The potential role of MBP in predicting the diagnosis of EoE, eotaxin 3 in predicted the advancement and correlation of IL-13 and TGF-β1 in differentiating the inflammatory and fibrotic course of the disease may facilitate the management and individualization of Eosinophilic Esophagitis therapy.
Systematic Review: esophageal motility patterns in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.
Rising trend in p​ediatric eosinophilic esophagitis incidence in Spain: Results of a prospective study 2014–16
TLDR
This study aims to determine the incidence of EoE in the pediatric population residing in the southwestern Madrid and to analyze whether absolute monthly pollen counts, modified or not by the principal atmospheric pollutants, are associated with it.
Validation of the Swedish Watson Dysphagia Scale for adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.
TLDR
The Swedish Watson Dysphagia Scale (S-WDS) is an appropriate and valid instrument for assessment of dysphagia in patients with EoE.

Role of Environmental Factors in the Development of Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis
TLDR
Common accepted risk factors for allergy and atopy, such as breastfeeding practices, antibiotics exposure, animals’ exposure, and others, were not found to be associated with eosinophilic esophagitis in this study.
Early Life Exposures as Risk Factors for Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis
TLDR
Antibiotic use in infancy was associated with 6 times the odds of having EoE (95% confidence interval 1.7–20.8), and Cesarean delivery, preterm birth, and formula-only or mixed (infant formula and breast milk) feeding also have trends toward increased odds for developing EOE.
Epidemiology, Clinical Presentation, and Seasonal Variation in the Diagnosis of Children with Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Oklahoma
TLDR
It is demonstrated that there is a seasonal variation in the diagnosis of EoE, with more cases diagnosed in the spring months in Oklahoma, related to the increase in aeroallergens and pollen distribution during the spring periods in Oklahoma.

Management Guidelines of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Childhood
TLDR
EoE is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disease with largely unquantified long-term consequences, and better maintenance treatment as well as biomarkers for assessing treatment response and predicting long- term complications is urgently needed.
Molecular, genetic, and cellular bases for treating eosinophilic esophagitis.
TLDR
It is proposed that EoE is a unique disease characterized by food hypersensitivity; strong hereditability influenced by early-life exposures and esophageal-specific genetic risk variants; and allergic inflammation and that the disease is remitted by disrupting inflammatory and T-helper type 2 cytokine-mediated responses and through dietary elimination therapy.
