Demographics

 Age 69.0 (66.0–76.0) 69.0 (65.0–74.0) 0.76

 BMI 30.0 (25.1–32.3) 29.9 (25.8–34.0) 0.86

Lung disease data

 FVC% 65.0 (53.0–74.0) 62.0 (47.0–78.0) 0.61

 DLCO% 42.5 (31.0–55.0) 44.0 (27.0–57.0) 0.89

pH probe data
 Any GERD 59 41 0.15

 Recumbent body position pH probe data
  % On PPI during pH Probe 21 21 0.99
  % with Abnormal Proximal Acid Recumbent 26 47 0.11
  % with Abnormal Distal Acid Recumbent 39 61 0.15

Data are median (interquartile range); BMI=body mass index; FVC%=percent predicted forced vital capacity; DLCO%=percent predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; GERD=gastroesophageal reflux; PPI=proton pump inhibitor
