BACKGROUND: The Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis Symptom Score (PEESS v2.0)
measures patient-relevant outcomes. However, whether patient-identified domains
(dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD], nausea/vomiting, and pain)
align with clinical symptomology and histopathologic and molecular features of
eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is unclear. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study
was to determine whether clinical features of EoE, measured through PEESS v2.0,
associate with histopathologic and molecular features of EoE. This represents a
novel approach for analysis of allergic diseases, given the availability of
allergic tissue biopsy specimens. METHODS: We systematically recruited treated
and untreated pediatric patients with EoE (aged 2-18 years) and examined parent
proxy-reported symptoms using the PEESS v2.0. Clinical symptomology was collected
by questionnaire. Esophageal biopsy samples were quantified for levels of
eosinophils, eosinophil peroxidase (EPX) immunohistochemical staining, and mast
cells. Molecular features were assessed by using the EoE Diagnostic Panel (94
EoE-related gene transcripts). Associations between domain scores and clinical
symptoms and biological features were analyzed with Wilcoxon rank sum and
Spearman correlation. RESULTS: The PEESS v2.0 domains correlated to specific
parent-reported symptoms: dysphagia (P = .0012), GERD (P = .0001), and
nausea/vomiting (P < .0001). Pain correlated with multiple symptoms (P < .0005).
Dysphagia correlated most strongly with overall histopathology, particularly in
the proximal esophagus (P ? .0049). Markers of esophageal activity (EPX) were
significantly associated with dysphagia (strongest r = 0.37, P = .02). Eosinophil
levels were more associated with pain (r = 0.27, P = .06) than dysphagia (r =
0.24, P = .13). The dysphagia domain correlated most with esophageal gene
transcript levels, predominantly with mast cell-specific genes. CONCLUSION: We
have (1) established a validated, parent proxy-reported measure for pediatric
EoE, the PEESS v2.0; (2) verified that the parent proxy effectively captures
symptoms; (3) determined that the dysphagia domain most closely aligns with
symptoms and tissue-based molecular biomarkers; (4) established that symptoms
correlate with EPX staining; and (5) observed association between mast cells and
dysphagia.
