An observational study of Eosinophilic Esophagitis, run by Fondation Lenval at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic condition of the esophagus. The symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis can affect the quality of life of affected children. There is no French scale to specifically evaluate the quality of life of these patients. Read more about this study

About this study
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic condition of the esophagus. The symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis can affect the quality of life of affected children. There is no French scale to specifically evaluate the quality of life of these patients.
It will be a monocentric, prospective, descriptive study carried out at the Nice University Pédiatric Hospital.
The main objective of this study will be the validation of a French version of the quality of life pediatric scale (PedsQL) module for eosinophilic esophagitis. It will take place in 2 distinct parts:
- The translation of the questionnaire in French.
- Collection of the quality of life questionnaires
Read the detailed description
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic pathology of the esophagus. It is the most prevalent condition of chronic esophagitis after gastroesophageal reflux and the largest cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children. Currently the explosion of incidence of cases in the world makes eosinophilic esophagitis a public health issue and a scientific challenge.
In pediatrics, the main symptoms are: dysphagia, feeding difficulties, pyrosis, but also more general symptoms such as: nausea, vomiting or growth retardation. The diagnosis of eosinophilic eosophagitis is mainly made in pathological anatomy on esophageal biopsies. Current recommendations suggest that two to four biopsies should be taken at two different levels (proximal and distal esophagus if possible), even in cases of apparently normal mucosa. The presence of an infiltration of the esophageal mucosa greater than 15 eosinophils per field is mandatory for the diagnosis. In total, the diagnosis is therefore based on anamnestic and histological elements and the absence of other pathology.
Recent French recommendations have led to a consensus on the management of this disease. The therapeutic goal is to achieve clinical and histological remission. Three therapies are currently proposed to patients: proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroids and exclusion diet. The drug treatments used are treatments that have been known for a long time but there is no study that has shown the superiority of one over the other.
Symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis can affect the quality of life of affected children and their caregivers. The quality of life pediatric scale (PedsQL ) Modulates Eosinophilic Esophagitis is a validated, American scale that specifically assesses the quality of life of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis in the pediatric population.
There is no French scale to specifically assess the quality of life of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis in the pediatric population. The aim of this study is to validate a French and cross-cultural version of the PedsQL quality of life scale for EoE in pediatrics.
It will be a monocentric, prospective, descriptive study carried out at the Nice University Pediatric Hospital.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Measure of quality of life
Validation of a French and cross-cultural version of the quality of life scale for eosinophilic esophagitis in pediatrics (PedsQL) The PedsQL eosinophilic eosophagitis module is divided into several forms, each corresponding to different age groups with questions adapted according to age. (2-4 years, 5-7 years, 8-12 years and 13-18 years). This questionnaire is intended for children and their parents.
The total score is the sum of the 35 items for 8-17 year olds, 22 for 2-4 year olds, 27 for 5-7 year olds. The maximum score is 175 for 8-17 year olds, 110 for 2-4 year olds, 135 for 5-7 year olds. The higher the score, the greater the impact of eosinophilic esophagitis on the patient's life.
