Aim: To evaluate the long-term effects of nutritional improvement following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube feeding stratified by previous feeding method and to assess the impact of underlying muscle tone on the outcomes of the nutritional intervention. Methods: Neurologically impaired children who underwent PEG tube insertion and nutritional intervention provided by a pediatric nutritional support team were enrolled. We measured anthropometric variables, laboratory parameters, and nutritional intake at baseline, 6 months after PEG insertion, and the last visit. We evaluated the percent ideal body weight (PIBW), body mass index (BMI)-for-age z-score, and percentiles and calculated the ratios of calorie intake compared to required requirement (CIR) and protein intake compared to recommended requirement (PIR). Results: The PIBW and BMI-for-age z-score improved during the first 6 months (p = 0.003 and p = 0.005, respectively). The CIR (p = 0.015) and PIR (p = 0.004) increased during the study period. The baseline BMI and PIBW of the previous nasogastric tube feeding group were better than those of the oral feeding group (p = 0.02 and p = 0.03, respectively). The BMI-for-age z-score, PIBW, CIR, and PIR improved in the hypertonic group (p = 0.03, 0.02, 0.03, and 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: PEG tube feeding and active nutritional intervention improved the nutritional status of neurologically impaired children immediately after PEG insertion. The nutritional requirements might vary by the muscle tonicity.

IQs from three intelligence tests, individually administered to 15 neurologically impaired children, were analyzed for differences between tests requiring speech and non-verbal examinations. All correlations were significantly different from zero, but the Binet gave IQs unlike those from the CMMS and the DAMT. The CMMS and the DAMT yielded similar IQ estimates, suggesting that non-verbal tests of intelligence are more helpful in the examination of children with neurological disorders.
