Table 2.

Median (5^th to 95^th percentile) distensibility index (DI, mm²/mmHg) values for EGJ, esophageal body 2–5 cm proximal to the EGJ and 6–10 cm proximal to the EGJ during distension volume at 30, 40, 50 and 60 ml.

Distension volume (ml)	EGJ	2–5 cm proximal	6–10 cm proximal
30	3.2 (1.0–11.6)^*	22.0 (6.3–25.0)	11.0 (5.0–26.0)
40	5.7 (1.4–15.8)^*	17.0 (8.3–21.5)	13.0 (7.3–21.0)
50	5.9 (1.6–9.3)^*	14.2 (7.9–23.4)	10.0 (6.7–14.0)
60	6.3 (2.1–9.5)	8.1 (5.3–20.0)	7.0 (5.0–13.0)
P values (Kruskal-Wallis)	0.34	0.02	0.08

Note:

P<0.05 vs. 2–5 cm proximal to the EGJ and 6–10 cm proximal to the EGJ.
