Predictive factors for early mortality after EUS-guided gastroenterostomy in malignant gastric outlet obstruction.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) has recently emerged as a potential treatment option for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (mGOO), with a relatively long duration of patency and low rate of reintervention. Its intrinsic risk for serious adverse events and high procedure cost mandates careful patient selection beyond the common safety profiles. This study aimed to assess for predictors of early post-EUS-GE mortality. Patients and methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients with unresectable mGOO who underwent EUS-GE. Predictive factors for postoperative 30-day mortality with crude and adjusted hazard ratios were examined using univariate and multivariate penalized likelihood Firth logistic regression analys
