ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Despite its increasing prevalence, the economic impact of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is understudied.METHODS:
We estimated the societal economic burden of EoE by using real-world data from Swedish health registers.RESULTS:
Patients with EoE had 45% higher societal cost ($6,290 vs $4,349) compared with the general population, primarily driven by increased healthcare costs ($2,414 vs $1,022), which accounted for 72% of the excess societal cost in EoE.DISCUSSION:
EoE is associated with a considerable economic burden to society. With the prevalence of EoE still rising, the economic burden of EoE is expected to continue to grow.
