In a prospective cohort of 48 adults with eosinophilic esophagitis and 17 controls, esophageal distensibility measured by impedance planimetry was significantly lower in EoE patients regardless of disease activity.
Esophageal distensibility was measured using EndoFLIP impedance planimetry, with distensibility plateau defined as the minimal esophageal body diameter at maximum distension at 40 mm Hg intrabag pressure. Patients with versus without history of stricture, impaction,, or recent dysphagia did not differ significantly in distensibility.
