Incidence of Childhood Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Central Brazil: How Many Are We Missing?

Abstract: The incidence of EoE in the present study was similar to that reported in the literature. However, these data may be underestimated owing to difficulties accessing UGE. Increased knowledge of esophageal eosinophilic diseases in childhood requires associated improvements in health infrastructure.

“…Most of the studies of the prevalence of EoE were conducted in United States (US), Canada and Europe, but there were also studies from Western Australia, and South America . Key differences in prevalence rates depended on whether the study population included only children, only adults or individuals of all ages, as well as on the time the study was undertaken and the definition of prevalence such as a point (16 studies or a period (11 studies); and methodology used, such as hospital‐based case series (14 studies), administrative database (7 studies), or insurance database (8 studies) (Table S1). Further variation was related to the definition of EoE considered by the various authors, which differed significantly over the period with regard to the role of pH‐monitoring and consideration of PPIs in the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of the disease …”

“…Studies based on insurance and administrative databases, confined to those aged under 16 years, reported the same prevalence provided by hospital‐based case series (Table ). According the three most recently published studies following the most up‐to‐date diagnostic criteria for EoE, the current prevalence for EoE in children is 53.4 cases/100 000 inhabitants (95% CI, 27.1‐88.5; I 2 = 95.6%). There was a nonsignificant trend towards a higher prevalence of EoE among the studies with a lower risk of bias (42.7; 95% CI, 14.1‐86.8 vs 28.2; 95% CI, 16.4‐43.3)…”

“…Nos países nórdicos da América e Europa, a incidência tem sido relatada em 6 a 13 casos /100000 habitantes (ARIAS; LUCENDO, 2013). Em um estudo de metaanálise publicado por Arias e colaboradores em 2016, a incidência agrupada foi de 3,7 casos/100.000 habitantes por ano com intervalo de confiança de 95%: 1,7-6,5 (ARIAS et al, 2016 (FERREIRA et al, 2008;GONÇALVES et al, 2018).…”
