Figure 1 Study design and patient disposition. MSA, magnetic sphincter augmentation; BID, twice daily; PPI, proton pump inhibitor. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy DOI: (10.1016/j.gie.2018.07.007) Copyright © 2018 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 Results at 6-month endpoint. A, Percentage of patients achieving relief from regurgitation. B, Percentage of patients achieving ≥ 50% improvement (decrease) in GERD–health-related quality of life scores from baseline score on once-daily proton pump inhibitor therapy. C, Percentage of patient satisfaction with current condition. HRQL, health-related quality of life; MSA, magnetic sphincter augmentation; BID, twice daily; PPI, proton pump inhibitor.

Figure 4 Results at 6-month endpoint. A, Percentage of patients with normal (<57) number of reflux episodes. B, Percentage of patients with normal DeMeester scores (<14.7). C, Percentage of patients with normal time with (<4.5%) pH <4. MSA, magnetic sphincter augmentation; BID, twice daily; PPI, proton pump inhibitor.
