Comparison of gastric emptying scintigraphy results at different morphine equivalents per day in gastroparesis patients on chronic opioids using analysis of variance

Gastric emptying scintigraphy 1st quartile (≤ 22.5 mg of morphine equivalents per day) 2nd quartile (> 22.5 mg/d, and ≤ 60 mg/d) 3rd quartile (> 60 mg/d, and ≤ 112.5 mg/d) 4th quartile (> 112.5 mg/d) P value
Retention at 2 h (mean ± SEM) 68% ± 6% 54% ± 8% 84% ± 5% 60% ± 9% 0.157
Retention at 4 h (mean ± SEM) 31% ± 7% 21% ± 8% 37% ± 10% 36% ± 19% 0.678

SEM: Standard error of mean.
