Prevalence of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in the United States
Open accessAbstract
Background & Aims Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has become a major cause of upper gastrointestinal morbidity in children and adults. However, there are few data on the nationwide prevalence of EoE. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of EoE in the United States (US). Methods We collected health insurance claims from a large database that represented the US commercially insured population. We analyzed data from 2008 through 2011, identifying cases of EoE using a previously validated definition, and calculated a period prevalence using data from 2009 through 2011. EoE was defined as any instance of the ICD-9 code 530.13. We calculated the prevalence of the code in the database and standardized the estimate to the US population. Results Of 35,575,388 individuals in this database, 16,405 had at least 1 code for EoE. The mean age was 33.5 y, 65% were male, 55.8% had dysphagia, and 52.8% had a diagnostic code for at least 1 allergic condition. Among 11,569,217 individuals with continuous insurance coverage between mid-2009 and mid-2011, 6513 had at least one code for EoE. When standardized to the US population, the estimated period prevalence of EoE was 56.7/100,000 persons, translating to approximately 152,152 cases in the US. Prevalence peaked in men 35–39 y old, with a rate of 114.6/100,000 persons. Conclusions Despite its relatively recent description, EoE is frequently diagnosed in the US, with an estimated prevalence of 56.7/100,000 persons. This estimate depends on the accuracy of the ICD-9 code, but could be an underestimate, given that knowledge of the code and recognition of EoE are increasing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
