Beschreibungen/Notizen
Effectiveness of multidisciplinary inpatient treatment of feeding-disordered children was sought through retrospective chart review of 40 gastrostomy-tube (i.e., G-tube) dependent children, ages 22 months to 7 years, with co-occurring medical conditions. Treatment effect analyzed from pre- and posttreatment measures of oral and G-tube caloric intakes resulted in a significant difference from admission to discharge for both oral intake, t(39) = 5.76, p < .001 (d = 1.02); and G-tube dependency, t(39) = 10.94, p < .001 (d = 2.03), with both showing strong treatment effects. Results indicated a highly reliable and valid method of treating severe pediatric feeding disorders.
