Effectiveness of fundoplication or gastrojejunal feeding in children with neurologic impairment.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER), aspiration, and secondary complications lead to morbidity and mortality in children with neurologic impairment (NI), dysphagia, and gastrostomy feeding. Fundoplication and gastrojejunal (GJ) feeding can reduce risk. A comparison of GJ to fundoplication using first-year postprocedure reflux-related hospitalization (RRH) rates found that in children with NI, GER, and dysphagia,:fundoplication and GJ feeding have similar RRH outcomes.
