RESULTS: Two-year survival after feeding tube placement was 87.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 85.2%–89.4%) and 5-year survival was 75.8% (95% CI: 72.8%–78.4%). The adjusted rate ratio comparing weekly rates of unplanned hospital days during the 2 years after versus before tube placement was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.57–1.48).
The families of patients who receive gastric feeding tubes have very high expectations about longevity and improved functioning after feeding tube insertion. These high expectations persist over a 6-month period in spite of an overall lack of clinical improvement in recipients of gastric feeding tubes, with overall high levels of dependence in ...
1 Δεκ 2000 · PEG tubes may prolong life in selected populations. However, the majority of older patients selected for PEG placement will not survive 1 year after the procedure. Certain factors may identify those patients more likely to derive a survival benefit from long-term tube feeding.
28 Ιουλ 2022 · We found that malignancy as indication for PEG was significantly associated with higher mortality at 90 days after the procedure, compared to neurological disease as indication.
ESGE recommends considering the following indications for enteral tube insertion: (i) clinical conditions that make oral intake impossible (neurological conditions, obstructive causes); (ii) acute and/or chronic diseases that result in a catabolic state where oral intake becomes insufficient; and (iii) chronic small-bowel obstruction requiring a...
15 Σεπ 2020 · Here, we aimed to determine the prognostic factors for survival after gastrostomy placement in routine NIV users, taking into consideration ventilator dependence.
In this article, we address the physiology and clinical tolerance of limited intake of nutrition and hydration. We review the prevalence of, indications for, and alternatives to long-term tube feeding, as well as its risks and benefits.
