Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the gastric emptying time of CHO+PRO beverages in patients with a delayed gastric emptying, calculated as the T1/2, Tlag and GEC (gastric emptying coefficient) of the recovery of 13C from breath samples measured continuously for 3 hours after ingestion. T1/2 indicates the time by which half of the total cumulative recovery of the 13C label is attained, and Tlag designates the time at which the 13CO2 excretion rate reaches its maximal level; while GEC does not have a clear definition, it is only generally used as an overall index of gastric emptying | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
