Background
Patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) commonly have asthma and atopy.
Aims
To determine the predictive factors of EoE in patients with asthma.
Methods
A retrospective analysis of a large database identified 156 asthma patients with EoE and 276 patients without EoE between 2000 and 2010. Clinical and laboratory characteristics were first analyzed in half of each group. Significant differences and modelling were then applied to the other half of each group in a split half analysis.
Results
Odds ratios and P‐values found to predict the presence of EoE in asthma patients were: allergic vs. non‐allergic asthma (4.07, |
