Table 4. Stratified analysis of esophageal body distensibility and contractile response (CR) to distension.

Frequency of abnormal distensibility plateau (DP) was compared between ‘normal’ CRs (i.e. normal CR or borderline CR) and abnormal CRs (impaired/disordered, absent, or spastic-reactive) after stratifying by eosinophil (eos) count or treatment status. hpf – high-powered field.

	DP	‘Normal’ CRs	Abnormal CRs	P-value
Eosinophilia, mucosal
<15 eos/hpf; n=60; n (%)	DP <17mm	9 (15)	7 (12)	0.100
	DP ≥17mm	35 (58)	9 (15)
>15 eos/hpf; n=139; n (%)	DP <17mm	34 (25)	30 (22)	0.021
	DP ≥17mm	55 (40)	20 (14)
Treatment status
On Treatment; n=155; n (%)	DP <17mm	35 (23)	24 (16)	0.075
