Table 6 Cut-off values for esophageal luminal diameter (ELD) to determine acid reflux

Between groups	Cut off (mm)	AUC	P	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
Group B + D (total PR) (n = 14)/Group E (reflux negative) (n = 13)	4.83	0.775	0.015^a	79	61
Group B + D (total PR) (n = 14)/Group E + F (reflux negative with HSE) (n = 18)	4.95	0.708	0.046	71	77
Group A (n = 20)/Group E (reflux negative) (n = 13)	4.95	0.721	0.034	60	77

HSE: Hypersensitive esophagus; PR: Proximal reflux; AUC: Area under the curve. P values show significance of AUC (^aP < 0.05).
