Peveling-Oberhag J, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis for all patients who had undergone percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in their center between August 2010 and January 2014 to find clinical parameters that could predict an increased risk of PEG related adverse events. Through review of endoscopic reports and medical charts, PEG-related adverse events and risk factors were evaluated. A high number of comorbidities, an oncological indication, and, as a statistical trend, high BMI were correlated with early adverse events. An unfavorable outcome following a PEG procedure correlates to clinical parameters that might easily be accessed, and this should raise awareness for patients at high risk.
