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 ASG consensus conference on the endoscopic approach to eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). The purpose of the conference was to gather expert opinions on the role of endoscopy in diagnosing, assessing response to therapy, performing dilation, and monitoring the disease in patients with EE. Dr. Katska presents the recommendations made by the committee, which include taking multiple biopsies from the esophagus and the stomach and duodenum for diagnosis and monitoring, using the EREF score for endoscopic grading, conducting endoscopy and biopsy to assess EE activity before and after dietary or pharmacologic therapy changes, and considering periodic endoscopy and biopsy for patients in remission. The recommendations aim to standardize the endoscopic approach to EE until more randomized trials can provide additional guidance.
