Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Children and Adolescents with Abdominal Pain: Comparison with EoE-Dysphagia and Functional Abdominal Pain

Table 5

Follow-up EGD: correlation of symptom and eosinophil count changes.

	EoE-D; baseline	On FU,; improved	On FU, not improved	EoE-AP; baseline	FU,; improved	FU, not improved
FU EGD	36/64 patients	28 (77.8%)	8 (12.2%)	28/63 patients	12 (42.8%)	16 (57.2%)
Eos; peak/mean	43.6/40.8	25.2/22.8	64.6/56.6	38.5/34.6	31.2/30.4	59.5/49.5
NO FU EGD	28/64 patients	27 (96.4%)	1 (3.6%)	35/63 patients	7 (20%)	28 (80%)

FU: 36 (D) and 28 (AP) had follow-up EGD. Improvement based on single symptom score.
EoE-D group (): eosinophils baseline mean = 45.0; sd = 23.5. Follow-up mean = 17.7; sd = 20.3. Mean difference = −27.3; sd diff = 29.1, by paired .
EoE-AP group (): eosinophils baseline mean = 34.1; sd = 16.5. Follow-up mean = 32.0; sd = 32.0. Mean difference = −2.1; sd diff = 28, , not significant by paired .
FU: follow-up.
