Table 4 Procedure evaluation, median (min, max)

	SWG (n = 40)	SPG (n = 40)	P value
Ease of procedure - endoscopist	1 (1, 5)	4 (1, 5)	< 0.01
Procedure tolerance - patient	2 (1, 4)	4 (2, 5)	< 0.01¹
Patient willingness to repeat procedure (yes/no)	32/8	2/38	< 0.01¹

SWG: Swab group; SPG: Spray group. Endoscopist difficulty scale: 1= easy to 5 =difficult; Patient tolerance scale: 1 = no difficulties encountered to 5 = very difficult.
