          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: el objetivo del estudio es determinar si el uso de nutrición enteral domiciliaria (NED) por gastrostomía endoscópica percutánea (PEG) reduce la carga del cuidador y mejora la calidad de vida de los pacientes referida por los cuidadores. Material y métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional, descriptivo, prospectivo de una cohorte única de 30 pacientes. Resultados: los resultados mostraron una mejoría del estado nutricional y parámetros analíticos. Se observaron reducción de los ingresos (1,50 ± 0,90 vs 0,17 ± 0,38; p < 0,001) y estancia hospitalaria tras la colocación de la PEG a los 3 meses (10,2 ± 8,02 días vs 0,27 ± 0,69 días; p < 0,001). Los minutos que le dedicaban los cuidadores a la administración de NED disminuyeron tras la colocación de la PEG en 28,5 minutos por toma, lo que supone a lo largo de un día y 5 tomas diarias casi 150 minutos. Hubo una reducción de la percepción de sobrecarga de 13,5 puntos según el test de Zarit. El 56,6 % de los cuidadores refirieron que la calidad de vida había mejorado “bastante”, frente al 6,7 % que respondieron poca mejoría y el 36,7 % que contestaron mucha mejoría. Asimismo, se obtuvo una puntuación de 3,40 puntos superior en la escala QoL-AD tras la colocación de la PEG. Conclusiones: el uso de NED por sonda PEG reduce el tiempo que el cuidador le dedica a la administración de NE, dando lugar a una reducción de la carga. Además, mejora la calidad de vida de los pacientes referida por los cuidadores.

          Abstract Objective: the aim of the study is to determine if the use of home enteral nutrition (HEN) by percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) reduces the burden on the caregiver and improves the patients' quality of life reported by the caregivers. Material and methods: a prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study of a single cohort of 30 patients was conducted. Results: the results showed an improvement in nutritional status and analytical parameters. Fewer admissions (1.50 ± 0.90 vs 0.17 ± 0.38; p < 0.001) and hospital stays were reported at 3 months after gastrostomy (10.2 ± 8.02 days vs 0.27 ± 0.69 days; p < 0.001). The minutes spent by caregivers administering NEDs decreased after PEG placement by 28.5 minutes per feeding, which amounts to almost 150 minutes over a day and 5 feedings per day. In the Zarit questionnaire, there was a reduction of 13.5 points in the perception of overload. A total of 56.6 % of caregivers reported that quality of life had improved “quite a lot”, compared to 6.7 % who reported little improvement, and 36.7 % who reported a lot of improvement. In the QoL-AD questionnaire, a higher score of 3.40 points was obtained. Conclusion: the use of HEN by PEG tube reduces the time spent by the caregiver administering EN, which results in a reduced burden. In addition, the quality of life of patients reported by caregivers improved.

              The Effect of Enteral Tube Feeding on Patients’ Health-Related Quality of Life: A Systematic Review

              Patients with functional gastrointestinal tract who are unable to meet their nutritional requirements may benefit from the use of enteral nutrition via feeding tubes which could be nasogastric, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and jejunostomy. Although enteral tube feeding has been shown to promote nutritional status, improve wound healing, and enhance patients’ quality of life (QoL), evidence of tube and feed complications and reduced QoL has also been reported. Despite the increasing prevalence of patients on enteral tube feeding, no systematic review examining the role of enteral tube feeding on patients’ QoL appears to have been published. Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effect of enteral tube feeding on patients’ QoL. Method: Three databases (EMBASE, Pubmed, and PsycINFO) plus Google Scholar were searched for relevant articles based on the Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes (PICO) framework. The review was in line with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and involved the use of synonyms and medical subject headings. In addition, search terms were combined using Boolean operators (AND/OR) and all the articles retrieved were exported to EndNote for de-duplication. Results: Fourteen articles which met the criteria were included and three distinct areas were identified: the effect of early versus late enteral tube feeding on QoL; the QoL of patients on gastrostomy versus standard care, and the effect of enteral tube feeding on QoL. Overall, nine studies reported improvement in the QoL of patients on enteral tube feeding, while five studies demonstrated either no significant difference or reduction in QoL. Some factors which may have influenced these outcomes are differences in types of gastrostomy tubes, enteral feeding methods (including time patients spent connected to enteral feed/pump), and patients’ medical conditions, as well as the generic and/or type of QoL measuring instrument used. Conclusion: Most reviewed studies suggest that enteral tube feeding is effective in improving patients’ QoL. The use of enteral tube feeding-specific QoL measuring instruments is recommended for future research, and improved management strategies including use of mobile enteral feeding pumps should further enhance patients’ QoL. More studies on the effect of delivery systems/enteral feeding pumps on QoL are needed as research in this area is limited.
