Measures of disease severity in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)
11-Item EoE impact questionnaire
The 11-Item EoE Impact Questionnaire (EoE-IQ)is a patient-reported assessment that measures the emotional, social, productivity, and sleep-related impacts of eosinophilic esophagitis.3
How the EoE-IQ is scored
Patients record responses to questions that evaluate quality of life using a 5-point response option ranging from “Not at all” to “Extremely.” The maximum score is 5.3
Higher scores indicate greater impact on health-related quality of life3
1 (no impact)
5 (highest impact)
