Radiological gastrostomy - 30 day mortality
- Included are data about 1232 gastrostomies performed on 1175 patients between 2014-01-06 and 2025-12-17

30 day mortality
Overall local 30 day mortality after gastrostomy is 5%
Combined with 40 series in the literature, 483 patients died within 30 days of gastrostomy out of 6707 patients, giving a mean 30 day mortality of 7.2%
Local data are broken down by diagnosis as below:
These can also be visualised as a proportional column chart:
