Résumé

A low incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children in the North Denmark Region (NDR) were measured in 2007-2017. Few of the children diagnosed before 2017 were treated to remission suggesting a lack of awareness. While there currently are no guidelines for treating EoE in Denmark, a new English guideline was published in 2022 renewing focus on the disease. The aim of this study was to measure the difference of current Danish clinical practice for treatment and follow-up of EoE children in the NDR with the new English guideline from the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) and the British Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN). This retrospective, register-based DanEoE cohort study included 31 children diagnosed with EoE between 2007 and 2021 in NDR. Medical records were reviewed and information about treatment and follow-up were collected. In 32% of the children with EoE in the NDR, first-line treatment corresponded with the new English guideline. One in 6 children were never started on any treatment even though treatment always is recommended. Histologic evaluation within 12 weeks as recommended was performed in 13% of the children. In Denmark focus on improving EoE treatment and follow-up for children is needed, as there is a significant difference between current clinical practice and the recommendations in the new English guideline.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
A low incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children in the North Denmark Region (NDR) were measured in 2007-2017. Few of the children diagnosed before 2017 were treated to remission suggesting a lack of awareness. While there currently are no guidelines for treating EoE in Denmark, a new English guideline was published in 2022 renewing focus on the disease.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to measure the difference of current Danish clinical practice for treatment and follow-up of EoE children in the NDR with the new English guideline from the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) and the British Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN).
METHODS METHODS
This retrospective, register-based DanEoE cohort study included 31 children diagnosed with EoE between 2007 and 2021 in NDR. Medical records were reviewed and information about treatment and follow-up were collected.
RESULTS RESULTS
In 32% of the children with EoE in the NDR, first-line treatment corresponded with the new English guideline. One in 6 children were never started on any treatment even though treatment always is recommended. Histologic evaluation within 12 weeks as recommended was performed in 13% of the children.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
In Denmark focus on improving EoE treatment and follow-up for children is needed, as there is a significant difference between current clinical practice and the recommendations in the new English guideline.
