Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate demographic findings of 104 children who had percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion procedure. Material and Method: Children, who had undergone PEG insertion procedure between 2005 and 2012 have been included in the study. Demographic data has been collected retrospectively from the clinic charts. Results: A hundred and four patients (44 girls, 46%) with 269 percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and percutaneous gastrostomy related procedures in the last seven years were enrolled in this study. Mean follow-up time was 36.5 months (3-84 months). Patients with neurological disabilities and metabolic diseases constituted the majority (45% and 40% respectively). Median age of patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy procedure was 5.9 years (2 months-16 years), mean weight was 17.7 kg ( 3-47 kg). Median Z score before PEG procedure was -1.98. Follow-up weight Z scores were available for 45 patients. Follow-up Z score was 1.21 at a mean of 18 months after the PEG procedure (p=0.0007). Major complication was seen in three patients (%2.8). Minor complications were observed in 10% of all procedures. Skin complications were seen in 13 patients (12.5%). Local infections in the stoma site were the most common skin complication (7/13). Systemic infections were not observed. Conclusions: Children with metabolic diseases constituted a major subgroup in our cohort. This finding is an important difference of our cohort compared to other European pediatric series in which primary neurological disabilities are the main indication for PEG. Despite complications, PEG procedure seems to be safe for supporting children with nutritional problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
