However, the relationship between these conditions remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between MASLD and EoE, as well as GERD and its phenotypes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a population\u2010based study using the TriNetX US Collaborative Network, analyzing adult patients (\u2265\u200918\u2009years) with and without MASLD. Propensity score matching (PSM) (1:1) was performed to adjust for demographics and clinical characteristics. The primary outcome was incident EoE. Secondary outcomes included GERD and its phenotypes such as nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE), and Barrett's esophagus (BE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following PSM, a total of 266\u2009980 patients (18\u201344\u2009years), 385\u2009138 (45\u201364\u2009years), and 150\u2009640 (\u2265\u200965\u2009years) were included in the analysis. MASLD was strongly associated with increased odds of EoE across all age groups: 18\u201344\u2009years (OR\u2009=\u20092.905; 95% CI 2.458\u20133.434), 45\u201364\u2009years (OR\u2009=\u20092.423; 95% CI 2.057\u20132.854), and \u2265\u200965\u2009years (OR\u2009=\u20092.327; 95% CI 1.606\u20133.371).
