Hospital and long-term outcome after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy

Abstract: Outcome after PEG is dependent on demographic factors and patient comorbidities. Given the very low initial complication rates, it may be advisable to delay PEG placement until just prior to discharge in order to prevent unnecessary procedures on those patients who are not likely to survive.

“…But because the presence of free air was strongly associated with future risk of laparotomy (p \ 0.0001), this finding should increase our clinical vigilance for early detection of warning signs. During the same hospitalization, 74 of the patients (23%) died, which is consistent with several published hospital reports as well as reported 30-, 60-, and 90-day mortality rates [11,[14][15][16]. This is not surprising considering that patients requiring PEG tubes in the SICU often have multiple serious medical conditions and a complicated postoperative course.…”

“…Older age, married status, mechanical ventilation, and dialysis were significant predictors of hospital death. None of the deaths were directly attributable to PEG [11]. A similar but prospective study of 168 patients who had PEG tube placement showed a 6.5% 30-day mortality, and C-reactive protein was the only predictive factor for early deaths.…”

“…Die Daten der Literatur und unsere eigenen veranschaulichen, dass die Inzidenz der PEGassoziierten Blutung mit 0-2,5% generell ein seltenes Ereignis ist [8,16]. Unter der Annahme eines 10fach erhöhten Blutungsrisikos unter Antikoagulation ergebe sich eine Fallzahlberechnung von 573 für jede Gruppe (90% Power, α 0,5), mit exponentiellem Anstieg unter der Voraussetzung eines geringeren Risikos.…”

“…Die in der vorliegenden Studie erhobene PEG-unabhängige Krankenhausmortalität von 6% ist im Vergleich zu internationalen Daten und unter Berücksichtigung der Methodendifferenz (30 Tage Mortalität vs. Krankenhausmortalität) eher im unteren Bereich zu werten [8,16]. Trotz identifizierter Risikofaktoren wie Alter und Demenz, künstliche Beatmung, Hämodialyse, infektiöse Akuterkrankungen etc.…”
