We can conclude that in the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis showing an unsatisfying nutritional status the long-term nocturnal enteral feeding via a PEG is a good and well tolerated method. The best results we achieved when the gastrostomy was placed at an early state of the disease. That's why we demand an early mentioning of this option of enteral feeding to the patients and their families since the involved mostly need a long time for their decision for that invasive procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
