Enteral feeding through endoscopic gastrostomy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients

Abstract: Palabras clave:Esclerosis lateral amiotrófi ca. Nutrición. Gastrostomía. PEG. ResumenIntroducción: la disfagia es común en pacientes con esclerosis lateral amiotrófi ca (ELA) y pude resultar en desnutrición. Se recomienda la gastrostomía endoscópica (PEG) cuando la alimentación oral no es más segura. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar la efi cacia y seguridad de la alimentación por PEG en la mejora de los parámetros nutricionales y de pronóstico en pacientes con ELA. Métodos: estudio observacional y retr… Show more

“…Enteral nutrition has been shown improve or maintain to nutritional status [85], weight gain [8688], and prolonged survival [89,90] provided that respiratory status is adequate [91,92]. Current recommendations indicate that prophylactic introduction of an enteral nutrition method (e.g., PEG-tube) is preferred, in order to supplement nutrition early and ensure that respiratory capacity is adequate (e.g., FVC>50%) at the time of surgery [93,94]. Still, enteral feeding does not directly treat the disordered swallow, but rather provides nutritional supplementation in the absence of a safe or efficient swallow.…”

“…Decline in patient body weight and body mass index (BMI) before PEG placement is expected; recall rapid or dramatic weight loss is a primary reason for PEG placement [9]. As expected, PEG users’ percent body weight decline and body mass index (BMI) decline from first ALS clinic visit until PEG placement was significant ( p < 0.05).…”

“…PEG typically delivers 30% of the patients’ daily caloric intake [6]. Prevention of rapid weight decline [7] and having a higher pre-morbid body mass index (BMI) [8,9] is thought to positively contribute to survival [10,11]. Naturally, a physician’s choice to prescribe PEG and a patient’s choice to accept it must take into account the heterogeneity of ALS, symptoms most troubling to each individual patient, the patient’s age of onset, and the patient’s personal preferences about surgery and supplementary nutrition.…”

“…In general, the indication for PEG is performed in most cases when there is a weight loss greater than 10% or significant dysphagia [ 18 ]. The delay from diagnosis to PEG implantation varies depending on the center but averages at about 12 months [ 19 ]. In our series, the median of implantation from diagnosis is similar (about 10 months), and this varies depending on the symptoms and the wishes of the patients.…”
