Factors influencing gastrostomy tube feeding duration and nutrition outcomes in pediatric patients with Down syndrome: A descriptive cohort study

CONCLUSION: In our cohort of patients with Down syndrome, age at placement of G-tube did not impact the duration of G-tube feeds. Most patients who had a G-tube placed were likely to require enteral feeds for at least 1 year. Those who had a tracheostomy needed their G-tube for a longer time.PMID:38715451 | DOI:10.1002/jpen.2637
