Text: In all four studies, esomeprazole 40 mg OD maintained intragastric pH greater than 4 for a significantly higher mean percentage of the 24-h period compared with all other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on days 1 (esomeprazole 40. 6 % versus lansoprazole 33. 4 %, P = 0. 0182 ; esomeprazole 50. 3 % versus pantoprazole 29. 1 %, P < 0. 001 ; esomeprazole 41. 0 % versus rabeprazole 29. 4 %, P = 0. 002) and 5 (esomeprazole 57. 7 % versus lansoprazole 44. 5 %, P < 0. 0001 ; esomeprazole 69. 8 % versus omeprazole 43. 7 %, P < 0. 0001 ; esomeprazole 67. 0 % versus pantoprazole 44. 8 %, P < 0. 001 ; esomeprazole 59. 4 % versus rabeprazole 44. 5 %, P < 0. 0001).
