Mortality of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in the UK.

چکیده
Sir, We read with great interest the original article by Janes et al and the accompanying Expert’s Comments by Lang published in the March 2005 issue of J Postgrad Med. Janes et al found that 30-day mortality of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) was 22% in a hospital in the UK during 2002 as opposed to a mortality of 10% 10 years earlier. This increase in mortality was attributed to a trend for less strict patient selection over the last few years.
