Abstract
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto"
id="d3154556e77">Identification of fibrosis in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis
(EoE) relies on symptom
assessment and endoscopy. Symptoms are highly variable, and early fibrotic remodeling
may go undetected on endoscopy yet contribute to esophageal dysfunction. We aimed
to assess whether esophageal distensibility has utility in defining fibrostenotic
severity in a cohort of pediatric patients with EoE with symptoms of esophageal dysfunction.
