Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE), a rare chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus, is predominantly observed in children and is primarily manifested with feeding difficulties. To our knowledge, no self- or caregiver-reported questionnaires are available to assess pediatric EE symptoms and their impact as reported directly by children or their parents/caregivers. The objectives of this study were to characterize the symptoms and impact of EE among children as reported by patients and parents/caregivers and to assess the content validity of two newly developed pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis symptom questionnaires, one parent/caregiver-reported questionnaire for ages 2-7 years and one child-reported questionnaire for ages 8-17 years. The questionnaires were developed based on a review of the literature and clinical expert consultation.
