Abstract
LBT (κ =0.78). There was no difference in symptoms in the gastroparetic patients with positive or negative LBT using the Quintron criteria. However, early satiety (p=0.04) and upper abdominal pain (p= 0.02) in Pimentel's criteria and regurgitation (p=0.05) in King's criteria were statistically associated with a positive LBT. Conclusions: This study shows a 32% prevalence of a positive LBT in patients with delayed GES, a slightly higher value than the 28% prevalence in patients with normal GES, both higher than the 4-10% prevalence of SIBO in the general population. Symptoms did not reliably predict a positive LBT in patients with delayed GES.
