Swallowed topical corticosteroids (tC) are common therapy for patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Widely heterogeneous results have occurred due to their active ingredients, formulations and doses.
Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is recognized as a chronic type 2 inflammatory disease characterized by the eosinophilic infiltration of esophageal tissue, posing significant burden and highlighting necessity for novel management strategies to address unmet clinical needs. Objectives: To critically evaluate existing literature on epidemiology EoE, identify evidence gaps, assess efficacy current emerging treatment modalities. Design: An extensive review was conducted, focusing...
Abstract Background Poor adherence to clinical practice guidelines for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been described and the diagnostic delay of disease continues be unacceptable in many settings. Objective To analyze impact improved knowledge provided by successive international on reducing improving process European patients with EoE. Methods Cross‐sectional analysis EoE CONNECT registry based practice. Time periods defined publication dates four major sets over 10 years were...
There is, so far, no universal definition of severe asthma. This usually relies on: number exacerbations, inhaled therapy, need for oral corticosteroids, and respiratory function. The use such parameters varies in the different definitions used. Thus, according to chosen, each patient may result having asthma or not. aim this study was evaluate how choice a specific can change allocation patients.Data collected from Severe Asthma Network Italy (SANI) registry were analyzed. All patients...
The growing prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) represents a considerable burden to patients and health care systems. Optimizing cost-effective management identifying mechanisms for disease onset progression are required. However, the paucity large patient cohorts heterogeneity practice hinder defining optimal EoE.EoE CONNECT is an ongoing, prospective registry study initiated in 2016 currently managed by EUREOS, European Consortium Eosinophilic Diseases Gastrointestinal Tract....
Abstract This study compared short-term effectiveness of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), swallowed topical corticosteroids (STC), and dietary therapies in reversing clinical histological features pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitits (EoE). Determinants for treatment choice PPI therapy were also assessed. A cross-sectional analysis under 18 years old recruited onto the multicenter EoE CONNECT registry was performed. Clinico-histological response defined as symptomatic improvement...
Novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines have been approved recently, and public concern regarding the risk of anaphylactic reactions arose after a few cases during first days mass vaccination. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has suggested as most probable culprit agent for allergic reactions.We describe allergy work-up protocol implemented vaccination campaign in our Center, aiming to allow greatest number people be vaccinated safely.The included self-report...
