The number of subjects with either active or inactive EE reporting the presence of individual symptoms on the PEESS is listed. Heartburn/regurgitation was reported in a significantly higher percentage of subjects with active EE (* p= 0.02).

Dysphagia was also noted to be greater in active EE subjects although this was not statistically significant (**p= 0.08).
