We are pleased to announce a special issue of Gastroenterology Research to be published in April 2022 focusing on "Healthcare disparities in gastroenterology and hepatology". Disparities in healthcare access and healthcare outcomes are pervasive and predominantly affect underserved and vulnerable populations. Highlighting research to better identify and understand the factors contributing to healthcare disparities is of paramount importance to help guide future interventions to mitigate these healthcare disparities. We invite your submissions focused on all aspects of healthcare disparities in gastroenterology and hepatology. |

The current focus of EoE pathologic evaluation is the peak eosinophil count (PEC), although histologic features other than eosinophilic inflammation are also commonly observed.
