Research paper thumbnail of The Yield of Endoscopy and Histology in the Evaluation of Esophageal Dysphagia: Two Referral Centers’ Experiences

Medicina, 2021

Background and Objectives: The initial diagnostic test required to evaluate esophageal dysphagia ... more Background and Objectives: The initial diagnostic test required to evaluate esophageal dysphagia is upper endoscopy (EGD) to assess the structure of the esophagus and the esophageo-gastric junction (EGJ). Taking biopsies during EGD has become a common practice in patients with dysphagia to rule out eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The aims of this study were to evaluate the endoscopic findings of patients who underwent EGD for esophageal dysphagia, to assess the rate of biopsy taking from the esophagus to diagnose/exclude EoE, and to report histology outcomes of these biopsies. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study that included individuals ≥18 years who underwent EGD due to esophageal dysphagia between the years 2015 and2020, (with no other alarm signs, such as weight loss, new iron deficiency anemia, and lymphadenopathy). We obtained data from patients’ electronic files. The endoscopy and histology findings were obtained from endoscopy reports saved in o...
