Lymphocytic Esophagitis: Assessing Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Lymphocytic esophagitis is a rare esophageal condition. Our knowledge of potential risk factors and treatment outcomes of lymphocytic esophagitis is limited. AIM:To investigate potential risk factors associated with the development of lymphocytic esophagitis and compare clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients diagnosed with lymphocytic esophagitis to patients diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. METHODS:This is a multicenter retrospective study. Lymphocytic esophagitis patients were identified based on pathology results between 1997 and 2019. Control groups consisted of patients with normal esophageal biopsies and patients diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. Thirteen potential risk factors for lymphocytic esophagitis were analyzed using univariate and multivariate models including IBD, achalasia, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism, celiac sprue, CVID, H. pylori, thymoma, aspirin, opioids, ACE-I, metformin, and statin use. Comparative statistics were performed. RESULTS:Ninety-four adult patients with lymphocytic esophagitis, 344 with eosinophilic esophagitis, and 5202 control patients with normal esophageal biopsies were analyzed. Age older than 60 [adjusted odd ratio (AOR) 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.05, p = 0.001], aspirin use (2.7, 95% CI 1.4-4.9, p = 0.001), statin use (2.2, 95% CI 1.2-4.2, p = 0.01), or a diagnosis of achalasia (2.4, 95% 1.08-5.67, p = 0.03) were associated with lymphocytic esophagitis. Compared to eosinophilic esophagitis, lymphocytic esophagitis patients were more likely to respond to medical treatment (95% CI 2.54-12.8, p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:Our data suggests that lymphocytic esophagitis is more likely to be found in older female patients and is significantly associated with achalasia, statin, and aspirin use. Compared to eosinophilic esophagitis, lymphocytic esophagitis is more likely to respond to treatment with medical therapy.
