Outcome of gastrostomy in parkinsonism: A retrospective study

Abstract: In this sample of patients with parkinsonian syndromes, survival after GTI was short particularly in totally dependent subjects. Aspiration pneumonia was not prevented by GTI. A larger prospective study is warranted to assess the potential benefits of gastrostomy, in order to identify the most appropriate indications and timing for the procedure.

“…The rate of aspiration pneumonia in our study is consistent with other recent studies, which estimate rates of 31% to 46%. 7,8 Aspiration pneumonia is often cited as a potential indication for PEG feeding, 14 so it is important that clinicians, patients, and staff are aware that aspiration pneumonia remains a significant problem after PEG and is a leading cause of death. The reason aspiration pneumonia still occurs is likely attributed to the aspiration of saliva, food taken orally (as not all PEG-fed patients take their entire diet by tube), and aspiration of regurgitated PEG feed.…”

“…In contrast, in ALS, GT placement has been shown to prolong life, [8] , [9] guiding current practice. While there are no controlled trials, observational data in PD suggest no survival benefit [18] , [19] . As the vast majority of advanced PD patients develop dementia, they may be treated under this general guideline (i.e.…”

“…Furthermore, gastrostomy feeding does not prevent aspiration pneumonia in patients with PD and has been shown to have a median (95% confidence interval) survival post-procedure of 186 (62-309) days in such patients with level of dependency being significantly negatively associated with survival. 6 Hence, in advanced stages of PD, often with severe dementia or towards end of life, the multidisciplinary team is prompted to consider other options.…”
