Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the risks and benefits of home-blended foods versus formula feeds in children with gastrostomy tubes, focusing on their effects on gastrointestinal symptoms and nutritional intake.
- Conducted across 32 sites in England, the cohort study involved data collection from parents and clinicians at 0, 12, and 18 months, tracking 180 children aged 6 months to 18 years.
- Results indicated that children on home-blended diets experienced fewer GI symptoms and achieved better calorie and fiber intake, while costs varied between the groups, suggesting similar safety and nutrition profiles for both feeding methods.
