The increasing incidence and prevalence of eosinophilic oesophagitis outpaces changes in endoscopic and biopsy practice: national population‐based estimates from Denmark

National population‐based medical registries in Denmark offer a unique opportunity to study eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) epidemiology.
