We reviewed children who had either PEG (n = 136) inserted by pediatric surgeons or IG (n = 195) inserted by interventional radiologists in our hospital between May 2004 and July 2008. Gastrostomy-related complications were given scores ranging from 20 for major complications (eg, peritonitis, gastrointestinal bleed, and visceral injury) to 1 for minor (eg, site infection and tube migration), and total score per month of follow-up was calculated per patient.
