OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical, endoscopic, and pH-impedance measures in a cohort of children with esophageal atresia and concomitant eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and compared it with disease-matched controls, to identify predictive factors for the development of EoE and esophageal stricture. STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed 63 patients with esophageal atresia assessed for refractory upper gastrointestinal symptoms between January 2015 and September 2017 at 2 tertiary referral centers. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and pH-impedance monitoring. Based on esophageal histology, patients were classified as (1) esophageal atresia without evidence of esophagitis; (2) esophageal atresia with evidence of esophagitis (including esophageal eosinophilia not meeting the criteria for EoE); (3) esophageal atresia with concomitant EoE. Age and sex matched patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease were used as disease controls. RESULTS: The presence of atopy and peripheral eosinophilia at baseline were significantly associated with EoE (P < .05). Although there was a tendency toward an increased number of strictures in patients with esophageal atresia-EoE, this did not reach statistical significance (P = .06). Higher esophageal acid exposure time and lower baseline impedance values were significantly associated with eosinophilic infiltration (P < .05 and P < .01, respectively). Using logistic regression analysis, the presence of mucosal eosinophilia was the most predictive factor for stricture formation (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: A history of atopy and the presence of peripheral eosinophilia in patients with esophageal atresia are predictive factors for the development of EoE, which in turn is a predictive factor for stricture occurrence. Higher esophageal acid exposure time and lower baseline impedance are associated with esophageal eosinophilic infiltration, suggesting their value in selecting which patients with esophageal atresia should undergo endoscopic examination.
目的:评估食管闭锁合并嗜酸性食管炎(EoE)患儿的临床、内镜和 pH 阻抗指标,并与疾病匹配的对照组进行比较,以确定 EoE 和食管狭窄发展的预测因素。
研究设计:我们回顾了 2015 年 1 月至 2017 年 9 月在 2 个三级转诊中心接受难治性上消化道症状评估的 63 例食管闭锁患儿的资料。所有患者均接受了上消化道内镜检查和 pH 阻抗监测。根据食管组织学,患者分为(1)无食管炎证据的食管闭锁;(2)有食管炎证据的食管闭锁(包括不符合 EoE 标准的食管嗜酸性粒细胞增多);(3)食管闭锁合并 EoE。使用胃食管反流病的年龄和性别匹配患者作为疾病对照。
结果:基线时存在特应性和外周嗜酸性粒细胞增多与 EoE 显著相关(P <.05)。尽管食管闭锁-EoE 患者的狭窄数量有增加趋势,但未达到统计学意义(P =.06)。更高的食管酸暴露时间和更低的基线阻抗值与嗜酸性粒细胞浸润显著相关(P <.05 和 P <.01)。使用逻辑回归分析,黏膜嗜酸性粒细胞浸润是狭窄形成的最具预测性因素(P <.05)。
结论:食管闭锁患儿存在特应性和外周嗜酸性粒细胞增多是发生 EoE 的预测因素,而 EoE 又是发生狭窄的预测因素。更高的食管酸暴露时间和更低的基线阻抗与食管嗜酸性粒细胞浸润相关,提示它们在选择哪些食管闭锁患者应进行内镜检查方面具有一定价值。
