The clinical and pathophysiological significance of BT remains controversial.

Nasogastric aspirates were obtained from 458 (49\u00b74 per cent) of 927 patients for culture; pH was measured in 172 (37\u00b76 per cent) of 458.

Postoperative sepsis was more common in patients with BT (42\u00b73 versus 19\u00b79 per cent; P &amp;lt; 0\u00b7001). Independent preoperative variables associated with BT were emergency surgery (P = 0\u00b7001) and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) (P = 0\u00b7015). Gastric colonization was confirmed in 248 (54\u00b71 per cent) of 458 patients, and was associated with both BT (P = 0\u00b7015) and postoperative sepsis (P = 0\u00b7029). A gastric pH of less than 4 was associated with a significant reduction in gastric colonization (53 versus 80 per cent; P &amp;lt; 0\u00b7001) and postoperative sepsis (46 versus 70\u00b73 per cent; P = 0\u00b7018) but not BT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BT is associated with postoperative sepsis.
