However, there is little information on gastrostomy and its effect in patients with neuromuscular disorders. A retrospective casenote review of all patients with a gastrostomy, followed\u2010up at the Hammersmith Hospital, London, was undertaken to assess the indications for, and outcomes of, gastrostomy placement. Notes for 32 patients (17 males, 15 females) were reviewed (age range 32mo\u201331y; median age 12y 5mo). We found three main groups of diagnoses: congenital muscular dystrophy (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=15), structural congenital myopathies (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=11), and other neuromuscular disorders (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=6). Two main patterns of feeding problems were identified before gastrostomy: swallowing difficulties, and nutrition and growth problems. The follow\u2010up period after gastrostomy was from 12 months to 19 years (mean 5y). Weight faltering was reversed in 17 out of 22 patients, and height faltering in 9 out of 14, where data were available. Twenty\u2010six patients had a reduced frequency of chest infections. No significant complication of gastrostomy placement was documented. Twenty\u2010eight patients or their families were happy with the results of the gastrostomy. Gastrostomy seems to have a substantial positive impact in patients with neuromuscular disease and feeding difficulties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2007.00367.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,23]],"date-time":"2009-06-23T07:38:00Z","timestamp":1245742680000},"page":"367-371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Gastrostomy placement in paediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders: indications and outcome"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Gian Paolo","family":"Ramelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annie","family":"Aloysius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trak","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Muntoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0960-8966(02)00140-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1399-3003.2000.016003476.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.93.25.14304"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2000.tb00678.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1997.tb15171.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.80.6.542"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-9993(94)90001-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(05)82933-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.1989.tb04013.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_11_2","first-page":"534","article-title":"Gastrostomy feeding in cerebral palsy: a systematic review","volume":"89","author":"Sleigh G","year":"2004","journal-title":"Arch Dis Child"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2004.tb00443.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607102026005298"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(95)91439-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpedi.1995.02170190068012"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200303-451OC"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2004.tb00508.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/PNS2003295"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0887-8994(97)00227-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00262752"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.1994.tb11879.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(98)90364-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.1995.tb12010.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1124","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.75.6.1124","article-title":"Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux following gastrostomy in neurologically impaired patients","volume":"75","author":"Mollitt DL","year":"1985","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"746","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.1997.tb07376.x","article-title":"Caregivers' perceptions following gastrostomy in severely disabled children with feeding problems","volume":"39","author":"Tawfik R","year":"1997","journal-title":"Dev Med Child Neurol"}],"container-title":["Developmental Medicine &amp;
