Description
Jennifer Wu and colleagues set two feed-tube paths side by side for kids in rehab after brain harm. Seventy-four kids, mean age 10.7 years, came in with either a nose tube left in place or a new belly tube. Eating skill, thought skill, and weight were tracked from entry to exit.
Rehab raised eating and thought scores in all, with eating scores up from a mid of zero to eight on a set diet scale. For kids who could not eat by mouth, a belly tube at entry went with higher exit eating scores and bigger thought gains. A nose tube instead went with lower entry weight and less weight gain, which hints tube choice may shape how well kids do.
