Cost Utility Analysis of Topical Steroids Compared to Dietary Elimination for Treatment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis

摘要

Background & AimsTopical corticosteroids or dietary elimination are recommended as first-line therapies for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), but data to directly compare these therapies are scant. We performed a cost utility comparison of topical corticosteroids and the 6 food elimination diet (SFED) in treatment of EoE, from the payer perspective.
