WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Two- and 5-year mortality rates after feeding tube placement for children with neurologic impairment are high. Rates of acute health care use across settings and within subgroups are stable during 2 years after feeding tube placement compared with before.
The expectations should be addressed one by one, so that families may make informed decisions. For example, 24% of patients with feeding tubes have respiratory infection in the 3 months following feeding tube insertion, likely related to aspiration.
If it is anticipated that EN will be required for more than 4 weeks, percutaneous access should be considered, depending on the clinical setting. Strong recommendation, low quality evidence. ESGE recommends the gastric route as the primary option in patients in need of EN support.
28 Ιουλ 2022 · A recent meta-analysis found that patients who received PEG have lower complication rates and most likely a higher quality of life than patients with a nasogastric tube, although there was no significant difference in mortality rates [8].
Perceived global quality of life was poor at 4.6 (on a 0-10 scale) at baseline, and surrogates anticipated this would improve to 8.0 with tube feeding. Family surrogates’ expectations for improvement from the feeding tube were very high at baseline and remained so at 3 and 6 months.
