EGID eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders distal to the esophagus, IR incidence rate, aHR adjusted hazard ratios

Model 1 adjusts for age at EGID diagnosis (first biopsy), sex, county of residence, and calendar year. Model 2 adds adjustments for education, eczema, allergy, asthma, and eosinophilic esophagitis
