Audit of outcome of long-term enteral nutrition by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy

Audit of outcome of long-term enteral nutrition by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the preferred method for administration of long-term enteral tube feeding. However, most published studies describe only short-term follow-up in any detail. We report the long-term outcome and complication rate after PEG insertion in 49 patients (mean [SE...

Zusammenfassung:Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the preferred method for administration of long-term enteral tube feeding. However, most published studies describe only short-term follow-up in any detail. We report the long-term outcome and complication rate after PEG insertion in 49 patients (mean [SE] age 64 [2] years) whose mean length of PEG feeding was 175 days (range 30-560). Data were collected prospectively. PEG insertion was technically successful in all cases, with a procedure-related mortality of 2%. Early (
