The aim of this study was to determine predictors of an increased mortality risk after PEG insertion. <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> A retrospective study was conducted during a 13\u2010year period in the gastroenterology department of Erlangen University Hospital. The authors completed a questionnaire with details of demographic data, diagnosis, indication for PEG, type of tube, and cause of death. Patients were contacted regularly at scheduled appointments. <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> In total, 787 patients (574 male [72.9%]) underwent PEG placement by the pull technique. The main underlying disease was malignant (75.6%). By the end of the study period, 614 patients had died. The average survival time was 720 days. The 30\u2010, 60\u2010, 90\u2010day and 1\u2010, 3\u2010, and 5\u2010year mortality rates amounted to 6.5%, 9.8%, 13%, 32.1%, 59.3%, and 69.8%, respectively. Predictive factors of increased 30\u2010day mortality were higher age, lower body mass index (BMI), and the presence of diabetes mellitus. The presence of all 3 variables served as an indicator to detect high\u2010risk patients, with a sensitivity of 0.80 and a specificity of 0.64. <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic> Mortality predictors for patients after PEG insertion are higher age, lower BMI, and the presence of diabetes mellitus. To avoid unnecessary and dangerous examinations in high\u2010risk patients, the above\u2010mentioned predictive factors of mortality should be checked before PEG placement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607110376197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,11]],"date-time":"2011-01-11T16:34:44Z","timestamp":1294763684000},"page":"50-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Predictive Factors of Mortality After PEG Insertion"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Yurdag\u00fcl","family":"Zopf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Maiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Konturek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Rabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eckhart G.","family":"Hahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dieter","family":"Schwab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(80)80296-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-966198"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(95)90231-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007611-199302000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1198\/106186006X133933"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mge.2002.122577"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607107031006517"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2000.01672.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-200101000-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014860719702100272"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2004-814400"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","first-page":"23","article-title":"Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: complications in the short and long\u2010term follow\u2010up and efficacy on nutritional status","volume":"42","author":"Varnier A","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eura Medicophys"}],"container-title":["Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0148607110376197","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0148607110376197","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0148607110376197","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T08:35:52Z","timestamp":1760862952000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0148607110376197"}},"subtitle":["Guidance for Clinical Practice"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0148607110376197"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0148607110376197","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0148-6071","1941-2444"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0148-6071","type":"print"},{"value":"1941-2444","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,1]]}}}
