Abstract
Introduction: This study investigates seasonal variations in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)-related emergency department visits among adults.
Methods: We analyzed the National Emergency Department Sample (2016-2021), identifying adult patients with EoE using ICD-10 codes. Generalized additive models assessed seasonal patterns.
Results: Among 18,791 EoE-related emergency department visits, a significant seasonal variation was observed, peaking in summer and nadiring in winter. This pattern was consistent across all US regions.
Conclusion: Seasonal dietary habits and social behaviors likely contribute to EoE exacerbations. Healthcare providers should emphasize management strategies during high-risk periods, particularly summer months and weekends.
