ARAna Rita RamalhoJPJoão PeixotoAFAna Filipa Fernandes

Key Points

  • Feeding-related complications occur regardless of enteral tube feeding status.
  • There is no observed increase in survival or reduction in complications with this method of feeding.
  • The analysis emphasizes the necessity for individualized care and professional training.
  • Supporting evidence calls for improved guidelines for handling feeding-related issues in advanced dementia.

Abstract

Our findings demonstrate that feeding-related complications also occur in patients receiving enteral tube feeding, without increasing survival or reducing complications and underscore the need for professional training and individualized evidence-based care in advanced dementia.
