Multivariate regression analysis was performed focusing on the 10 background factors; the normality was tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method. The correlation of GerdQ score with 10 variables was assessed using chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis. The level of significance in each factor was set at value <0.05 ().
