Systematic review with meta‐analysis: the incidence and prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis in children and adults in population‐based studies

Abstract

Eosinophilic oesophagitis is an increasingly common diagnosis in North America and Europe. The population-based incidence and prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis vary widely across individual studies, probably due to variations in diagnosis and risk of bias of research. More prospective, large-scale, multicenter studies are needed to evaluate reported data.
