Key clinical point: A family history of eczema and a diet lacking allergenic foods, such as milk, increased the risk for incident eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children with aerodigestive dysfunction who underwent triple endoscopy.
Major finding: A family history of eczema increased the odds of a future diagnosis EoE by ~4 times (odds ratio [OR] 4.02; P = .006) whereas a diet containing dairy significantly lowered the risk for incident EoE (OR 0.26, P = .02).
Study details: Findings are from a study including 119 patients with aerodigestive dysfunction who were age 0-21 years and underwent triple endoscopy (flexible bronchoscopy, rigid direct laryngoscopy + bronchoscopy, and esophagoscopy with biopsy), of whom 19 had EoE.
