Table 3 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 |
