Abstract

After PEG placement at the Medical Department of the University Hospital in Kiel, 210 patients (mean age 61.3 years; 137 men, 73 women) were prospectively followed-up for 133+/-181 days. Close-meshed evaluations of the development of nutritional status, long-term outcome, complications, subjective acceptability, patient care after discharge from the hospital, survival, and nutritional long-term problems were performed. The PEG procedure (duration 13.3+/-4.2 min) was carried out for neurological (42%), ear-nose-throat (28%), and internal medical (30%) indications. Procedure-related mortality was 0%, while altogether 3.8% severe and 20.0% mild complications were observed. Body weight decreased by a mean of 11.4+/-1.5 kg in the three months before and increased by 3.5+/-1.7 kg one year after PEG placement with no significant differences between malignant or benign underlying diseases. Individual subjective acceptability was excellent in 83%, sufficient in 15%, and poor in 2% of patients only. One-year survival rate was 34.3%. The various results of the present prospective study demonstrate that long-term enteral feeding via PEG is a safe, effective, easy-to-practice, and highly acceptable method with excellent long-term results and distinct improvement of nutritional status. Individual decisions for PEG placement should be considered much earlier and more frequently in appropriate patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
