Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Specificity of the CytospongeBaseline

Percent specificity of Cytosponge ability to detect Eosinophilic Esophagitis when compared to upper endoscopy and biopsies/swab testing. Cytology specimens will be reviewed by one pathologist who will read them blindly without knowledge of the results of the biopsy specimens. To calculate specificity: 100% the number of true negatives divided by the sum of the number of true negatives plus the number of false positives.

Percent Sensitivity of the CytospongeBaseline

Percent sensitivity of Cytosponge ability to detect Eosinophilic Esophagitis when compared to upper endoscopy and biopsies/swab testing. Cytology specimens will be reviewed by one pathologist who will read them blindly without knowledge of the results of the biopsy specimens. To calculate sensitivity: 100% the number of true positives divided by the sum of the number of true positives plus the number of false negatives
