Key clinical point: Reduced symptom severity and use of budesonide orodispersible tablets and high topical corticosteroid (tC) doses (eg, fluticasone propionate metered dose ≥ 1 mg/day from inhalation devices) are all independent predictors of tC effectiveness in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the real‐world setting.
Major finding: Corticosteroid treatment proved to be the most important determining factor in achieving clinico-histological remission, with budesonide orodispersible tablets presenting the highest efficacy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 18.9; P < .001). High tC doses (aOR, 4.3; P = .03) and lower symptom scores (aOR, 0.9; P = .01) were also significant predictors of tC effectiveness.
Study details: This real-world cross‐sectional analysis of the multicenter EoE CONNECT registry assessed the data on 1456 prescriptions of tC monotherapy used in 866 patients with EoE.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any specific funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
