EoE Recurrence on PPI Maintenance Therapy: You Do Not Know if You Do Not Look!
摘要
Background and Aims
Data regarding histologic recurrence of EoE on PPI maintenance therapy are lacking.
MethodsRetrospective review of 101 patients with histologic PPI-responsive EoE.
Results52/101 (51%) patients underwent follow-up EGD with biopsies. Of the 52 patients, 29 (56%) maintained histologic remission and 23 (44%) had histologic recurrence. 21 (40%) patients maintained BID PPI, 20 (39%) tapered to QD, and 11 (21%) had discontinued PPI. Of the 21 patients on BID PPI, 7 (33%) had histologic recurrence, of which 6 (86%) were asymptomatic.
ConclusionsPatients on PPI therapy for EoE benefit from serial clinical, endoscopic, and histologic surveillance.
