Core Tip	The field of gastroenterology does not currently have standardized treatment guidelines for eosinophilic esophagitis. Current data on the safety of dilations in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are conflicting and lack information on factors that influence whether or not a patient will require dilation. This study revealed that higher peak eos/hpf counts appear to influence whether or not an EoE patient will require dilation during the course of their treatment. However, complications appear to occur independently of the histologic features. Esophageal dilation appears to be a safe procedure in EoE patients, carrying a low complication rate.
