2016年4月11日 · The Eosinophilic Esophagitis Endoscopic Reference Score (EREFS) was recently developed to help standardize reporting of endoscopic findings in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE; Gut 2013; 62:489). The score takes into account the presence of esophageal edema and strictures and the presence and severity of exudates, rings, and furrows.

2017年12月14日 · The endoscopic reference score (EREFS) is used to determine severity of 5 endoscopic findings: edema, rings, exudates, furrows, and strictures. Little is known about the relationship between EREFSs and histologic markers of disease activity in children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

2023年9月20日 · One important tool in the evaluation and scoring of EoE endoscopic features is the Eosinophilic Esophagitis Endoscopic Reference Score (EREFS). The EREFS is a standardized scoring system that helps in objectively assessing the severity of eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus.

Reference Score (EREFS), and how scores change in response to treatment. We investigated the operating characteristics of the EREFS in diagnosis of EoE, how the score changes with treat-ment, and ways to optimize scoring system. METHODS: We performed a prospective study of adults undergoing outpatient upper endoscopy from

Objectives: The eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) endoscopic reference score (EREFS) was developed to analyze adults with EoE and has been successfully applied to a pediatric cohort. The present study compares EREFS in younger and older children with EoE.

Evaluating the endoscopic reference score for eosinophilic esophagitis: moderate to substantial intra- and interobserver reliability. Endoscopy. 2014;46:1049-55. Epub

2021年7月12日 · The eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) endoscopic reference score (EREFS) is a validated system for description, recognition, and reporting of EoE findings during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). This scoring system correlates with esophageal eosinophilia and therapeutic responses and has validated diagnostic accuracy with good inter- …

In a prospective study of children undergoing diagnostic or post-treatment endoscopy, we found the EREFS to accurately identify those with EoE. Children who responded to therapy had lower EREFS scores than non-responders. EREFSs can be used to measure outcomes of pediatric patients, in conjunction w …

The EREFS classification system identifies patients with EoE an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 0.934; the score decreases with treatment, and histologic responders have significantly lower scores than nonresponders. This system can therefore be …

EREFS provides a score from 0 to 9 based on the presence or severity of 5 component scores: exudates, rings, edema, furrows, and strictures. This scoring system has validated diagnostic accuracy with good inter- and intraobserver reliability for component scores and total score (3, 4).
