Efficacy of Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation for Treatment of Reflux Hypersensitivity: A Study Based on Rome IV Criteria

Table 5

Absolute differences in the number of afferent fibers in distal esophageal mucosa at baseline and 12 m after treatment.

	Subjects with complete data	Absolute change from baseline		Carrying last value forward	Absolute change from baseline
TRPV1	18	-914.5 (-1103.8, -760.2)	<0.001	22	-844.5 (-1067.2, -309.8)	<0.001
CGRP	18	-546.0 (-688.2, -227.0)	<0.001	22	-474.0 (-675.0, -28.8)	<0.001

Complete case analysis evaluated only subjects with complete data at both baseline and 12 mo. Carrying last value forward analysis evaluated all patients after carrying forward the baseline value for subjects with missing 12-mo data.
