Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in atypical parkinsonian syndromes: survival and aspiration outcomes from a retrospective international cohort

Key Points

• Survival improves with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) insertion, but aspiration risk remains unchanged.
• The analysis involved an international cohort, providing a broader perspective on PEG efficacy and safety.
• Data were gathered from international registries documenting outcomes in atypical parkinsonian syndromes.
• Findings suggest that while PEG may enhance survival, further investigation into aspiration risk is necessary.
