Eosinophilic Esophagitis Histology Remission Score: Significant Relations to Measures of Disease Activity and Symptoms

Objectives: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by remissions and relapses. Guidelines defining remission do not exist and therefore remission is inconsistently identified. We sought to define histology remission in EoE. Methods: Esophageal biopsies, obtained at the time the validated pediatric EoE symptoms scores v2.0 (PEESS v2.0) questionnaire was completed (N = 42), were scored using the validated EoE Histology Scoring System. An EoE Histology Remission Score (EoEHRS) was constructed and specified that in all esophageal sites sampled the peak eosinophil count was
