Multidisciplinary teams are often needed to manage this difficult-to-treat condition.  <jats:bold>Objective:<\/jats:bold> To observe the clinical and histologic outcomes of patients with eosinophilic\n esophagitis after management in a multidisciplinary clinic.  <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> An observational, retrospective chart review was conducted to include all patients referred to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center multidisciplinary eosinophilic esophagitis clinic between\n August 2012 and February 2021. Only patients who had at least one esophagogastroduodenoscopy before referral, one or more visits and endoscopy after multidisciplinary management, and documented clinical symptoms were included. Statistical analysis was performed by using McNemar and Wilcoxon\n tests.  <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A total of 103 patients were included in the study, with a mean age at diagnosis of 17.9 years. Management in the multidisciplinary clinic was associated with a reduction in solid-food dysphagia by 70.9%, poor growth by 70.8%, and emesis or regurgitation\n by 87.5%. We observed that 48.5% and 62.1% had histologic remission (&lt;15 eosinophils\/hpf) on the initial and any post-multidisciplinary endoscopy, respectively. Only seven patients (5.8%) with two or more visits and endoscopies did not achieve histologic remission. More than two-thirds\n of the patients (68.9%) required combination therapy to achieve remission.  <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Although an observational study, these findings may suggest that the management of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis in a multidisciplinary clinic may improve the likelihood of clinical\n and histologic remission. Targeted management with a multidisciplinary approach may reduce overall morbidity and slow disease progression; however, more research is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2022.43.210102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]],"date-time":"2022-01-05T12:03:14Z","timestamp":1641384194000},"page":"78-84","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Outcomes
