All correlations marked “* ” have a p ≤ 0.01 and correlations marked “ ^† ” have a p >0.01 and ≤ 0.05. All other correlations are >0.05. The canonical correlation analysis essentially jointly tests whether the correlations in the matrix below are simultaneously zero.

BT = breath test kPCD; GE = proportion of gastric emptying at specified times
