Abstract:
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus in which allergic, gastrointestinal, and psychiatric comorbidities are common. As such, multidisciplinary approaches to EoE management may provide an opportunity to centralize EoE care and ensure that all aspects of the patient's condition and comorbidities are being managed in a comprehensive, unified approach to optimize patient outcomes. This collaborative approach has been shown to improve the likelihood of clinical and histologic remission in patients with EoE.1 Allergists, gastroenterologists, registered dietitians, and mental health providers all bring unique skills and expertise needed to improve the care of patients with EoE. In this article, we discuss the individual roles of each team member at the Dallas Eosinophilic GI Disease and Esophagitis Program at Children's Health in Dallas, Texas, and how they work together to provide comprehensive care to patients with EoE.
