Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is increasing in prevalence but there is a lack of population-based studies. We sought to determine the prevalence, demographics, and associated atopic diseases in the Veterans Affairs (VA) population. A nationwide analysis of data from the VA patient population was done using a Veterans Health Administration database. EoE was identified using ICD9 (530.13) and ICD10 (K20.0) codes from October 2008 to June 2020. Demographic data, smoking status, BMI, treatment, and ICD codes for atopic diagnoses were collected. Two sample proportion z-tests, Chi-square tests, two-sample t tests, and one-way ANOVA were used to assess associations across demographic categories. We identified a total of 11,775 patients with an EoE diagnosis: 91% male, 83% White, 8.6% Black, and 5% were of Hispanic ethnicity. The prevalence of EoE increased over time. At diagnosis, the mean age was 48.5years overall, 51.6years for Black patients, 45.3years for Hispanic patients, and 48.2years for Whites. Dysphagia was the most common symptom overall, but a higher percentage of Blacks and females were found to report chest pain (p < 0.0001, h = 0.32). With the exception of urticaria and atopic dermatitis, both Blacks and Hispanics had a higher incidence of atopic conditions compared to other races and ethnicities (p < 0.0001). While EoE is seen primarily in White males, our study shows that a notable percentage of patients were Black or Hispanic, suggesting that EoE should be considered in non-white patients. The later age of diagnosis in this group could represent a lack of awareness about EoE among non-white patients. More research is needed to study these associations.
