Comparison Outcomes and Complications of Self-Propelled vs. Standard Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J); a Randomized Single Blind Clinical Trial
Abstract
Our main hypothesis is that self-propelled Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrojejunostomy tube (PEG-J) that has a balloon on it's tip is associated with lower J-tube retrograde migration rate, and lower rates of short- and long-term complications when compared to standard PEGJ feeding tubes.
Conditions: Feeding Tube.
Primary outcome: Number of Participants With PEG-J Tube Migration.
Enrollment: 19 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 19 participants or records.
