↵* Disease duration was time from onset of disease to time of this study.
↵† Time from ZES onset to diagnosis of gastric carcinoid was calculated from time of disease onset until diagnosis of gastric carcinoid was first made histologically.
↵‡ Gastric nodule present or absent refers to endoscopic findings in stomach at time diagnosis of gastric carcinoid tumor was made histologically.
NA = not applicable.
