Are patients with eosinophilic esophagitis treated at an academic hospital comparable to a patient from a population-based cohort? Not in Denmark.

Results indicated that EoE patients referred to a Danish EoE center is a selected subgroup with disease debut at a younger age, less comorbid GORD, and rarely food bolus obstruction before diagnosis. This suggests that study results from academic hospitals might not have generalizability to the average EoE patient in a population.
