Table 4

 Prognostic factor analysis on the main end point variables—endoscopic healing of erosive reflux disease (ERD) by week 8 and complete heartburn resolution in non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients by week 4

ERD NERD
n* % Healed p Value n† % CHR
BMI, body mass index; BO, Barrett’s oesophagus; Hp, Helicobacter pylori; CHR, complete heartburn resolution.
n*, patients with post-treatment endoscopic healing assessment; n†, patients with post-treatment heartburn assessment.
The prognostic analysis for NERD at the last visit showed p>0.05 in all cases except for Hp where p = 0.03.
