Correlation between variables in gastric fluid

	Pepsin	Gastricsin	Bile	Trypsin
Pepsin		r = 0.41 P = 0.059	r = −0.18 P = 0.37	r = −0.25 P = 0.21
Gastricsin			r = −0.029 P = 0.90	r = −0.032 P = 0.88
Bile				r = 0.54 P < 0.0001
pH	r = −0.25 P = 0.21	r = 0.09 P = 0.67	r = 0.14 P = 0.28	r = 0.20 P = 0.13

A P‐value < 0.05 was considered significant.
