Optimizing analysis of stable isotope breath tests to estimate gastric emptying of solids Odunsi ST et al. - Breath tests (BT) using 13C-substrates have been proposed for the measurement of gastric emptying (GE). The linear regression and generalized linear regression methods (which also require relatively few breath samples) provide the most accurate analyses of breath 13CO2 excretion in stable isotope GEBT.
