Best practices for EoE management: Tips from the ASGE consensus conference

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Dave Katska, a professor of medicine at Columbia University, discusses the consensus conference on an endoscopic approach to eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE). He explains that there is currently no guideline for the endoscopic use in EOE, so the conference aimed to provide advice. The process involved a group of experts formulating questions, discussing and voting on them, and eventually formulating statements. The video summarizes the recommendations in four categories: endoscopic diagnosis, grading, response to therapy, and monitoring disease. The recommendations include the number and location of biopsies for diagnosis, the use of the EREF score for grading, the need for endoscopy and biopsy to assess EOE activity, and the considerations for endoscopic dilation. It is recommended that patients in remission remain monitored for symptoms and periodic endoscopy. The speaker acknowledges the need for more randomized trials but believes these recommendations are the best they have for now.
