Marinschek S, et al. - In this quantitative study, researchers examined long-term impacts (outcome, growth, and nutrition data) in a large sample of formerly tube-dependent children 1 to 6 years after participation in tube weaning programs, based on the “Graz model of tube weaning.” Children's parents who completed a tube weaning program from 2009 to 2014 (N = 564) were asked to complete a questionnaire on growth and nutrition for their child. Growth data exhibited no significant changes in zBMI (World Health Organization standards z values for body mass index) between weaning completion and long-term follow-up. Overall, the investigators suggested that many children undergoing a tube weaning program based on the "Graz model of tube weaning" can stay on full oral feeds in the years after weaning has been completed without growth deterioration.
