The difference between antrum-positive and corpus-positive groups approached significance ( p = 0.052), suggesting a potential association between antral colonization and altered esophageal contractility ( Table 4 ).
The difference between antrum-positive and corpus-positive groups approached significance ( p = 0.052), suggesting a potential association between antral colonization and altered esophageal contractility ( Table 4 ).
While these differences did not reach statistical significance, this may be attributed, at least in part, to the relatively small sample size in some subgroups—particularly the corpus-predominant cohort.
