Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of pathologic eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the cohort of adult patients who present for specialty care in the gastroenterology clinics with complaint of difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). From this, the investigators will make recommendations regarding routine screening for the diagnosis in this cohort. The prevalence of EoE in patients presenting for specialty care in the gastroenterology clinics with the complaint of dysphagia is great enough that the diagnosis should be routinely screened against in this cohort.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Obstructive Dysphagia

Patients who complained of dysphagia, which had an obstructive etiology for their symptoms at the time of endoscopy (ring, mass, stricture, etc)

Non-obstructive Dysphagia

Patients whose endoscopy was normal and without any obvious etiology for their symptoms noted.

No interventions assigned to this group
