Delayed SBT occurred in 19.3% of dyspeptic patients using GES/SBTS. While postprandial and stomach fullness were common to both delayed S GE and delayed SBT, early satiety was associated with delayed S GE whereas bloating was associated with delayed SBT. Thus, SBTS can augment GES to help explain some symptoms associated with dyspepsia and suspected gastroparesis.
