Direct comparisons of childhood- and adulthood-onset eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are scarce.
To compare disease characteristics, endoscopic and histological features, allergic concomitances and therapeutic choices across ages.
Cross-sectional analysis of the EoE CONNECT registry.
The adulthood-onset cohort (those diagnosed at ≥18y) comprised 1044 patients and the childhood-onset cohort (patients diagnosed at <18 y), 254. Vomiting, nausea, chest and abdominal pain, weight loss, slow eating and food aversion were significantly more frequent in children; dysphagia, food bolus impaction and heartburn predominated in adults. A family history of EoE was present in 16% of pediatric and 8.2% of adult patients (p<0.001). Concomitant atopic diseases did not vary across ages. Median±IQR diagnostic delay (years) from symptom onset was higher in adults (2.7 ± 6.1) than in children (1 ± 2.1; p<0.001). Esophageal strictures and rings predominated in adults (p<0.001), who underwent esophageal dilation more commonly (p = 0.011). Inflammatory EoE phenotypes were more common in children (p = 0.001), who also presented higher eosinophil counts in biopsies (p = 0.015) and EREFS scores (p = 0.017). Despite PPI predominating as initial therapy in all cohorts, dietary therapy and swallowed topical corticosteroids were more frequently prescribed in children (p<0.001).
Childhood-onset EoE has differential characteristics compared with adulthood-onset, but similar response to treatment.
儿童期和成人期发病的嗜酸性食管炎(EoE)的直接比较很少见。
比较不同年龄段的疾病特征、内镜和组织学特征、过敏伴发情况及治疗选择。
对EoE CONNECT注册研究进行横断面分析。
成人期发病队列(诊断时年龄≥18岁)包括1044例患者,儿童期发病队列(诊断时年龄<18岁)包括254例患者。呕吐、恶心、胸痛和腹痛、体重减轻、进食缓慢和食物厌恶在儿童中更为常见;吞咽困难、食物团块嵌塞和烧心在成人中更为突出。16%的儿科患者和8.2%的成人患者有EoE家族史(p<0.001)。伴发的特应性疾病在各年龄段无差异。从症状出现到诊断的中位±四分位间距延迟时间(年)在成人中(2.7±6.1)高于儿童(1±2.1;p<0.001)。食管狭窄和环在成人中更为常见(p<0.001),成人更常接受食管扩张治疗(p = 0.011)。炎症性EoE表型在儿童中更为常见(p = 0.001),儿童活检中的嗜酸性粒细胞计数(p = 0.015)和EREFS评分也更高(p = 0.017)。尽管质子泵抑制剂(PPI)在所有队列中都是主要的初始治疗药物,但饮食疗法和吞咽局部糖皮质激素在儿童中更常使用(p<0.001)。
儿童期发病的EoE与成人期发病的EoE具有不同的特征,但对治疗的反应相似。
