Monitoring response to therapy after symptomatic resolution

	All respondents (n = 82)	Academic (n = 32)	Private (n = 45)
Repeat upper endoscopy with biopsies to determine histologic improvement	38 (46.3%)	23 (71.9%)*	12 (26.7%)*
Repeat upper endoscopy to determine endoscopic improvement	1 (1.2%)	0 (0%)*	1 (2.2%)*
No repeat upper endoscopy is necessary because symptoms have resolved	38 (46.3%)	9 (28.1%)*	28 (62.2%)*
No further endoscopic or medical therapy is necessary. EoE is now in remission after 1 course of therapy.	5 (6.1%)	0 (0%)*	4 (8.9%)*

Chi-square was used to assess differences between groups.

*P < 0.05 between academic and private gastroenterologists.
