This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes and complications of PEG.<br> <span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Materials and Methods:</em></strong></span> In this semi-experimental study, 77 patients (45 men, 32 women; age mean: 58.9&plusmn;19.7 years, Min: 14 years, Max: 89 Years) who underwent initial PEG placement in Vali-e-asr hospital, Zanjan-Iran, from 2014 to 2015 were included. The complications were assessed three weeks and three months after PEG insertion. The quality of life (QoL) was evaluated with Karnofsky questionnaire before PEG placement and three months after that.<br> <span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Results:</em></strong></span> The most common indications of PEG placement were cerebrovascular accidents (26.5%), cardio-pulmonary disease (20.6%), and drug and substance abuse toxicities (16.2%). Complications occurred in 26.5% (18 cases) of the patients. The frequencies of the complications at end of the third week and third month were 17.6% and 11.8%, respectively. The most common complication was tube leakage. Also, no significant difference was found between mean of QoL scores pre- and post- PEG placements (p> 0.05).<br> <span style="color:#008080;"><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong></span> Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a safe and minimally invasive endoscopic procedure associated with a low morbidity rate.</span></span></p> Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), Outcome, Quality of Life (QoL) 86 95 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-1098&slc_lang=other&sid=1 Sattar Jafari ستار جعفری 5200319475328460049796 5200319475328460049796 No Dept.of Gastroenterolog,Valiasr Hospital, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان، زنجان Salim Jahangiri سلیم جهانگیری 5200319475328460049797 5200319475328460049797 No Dept.of Gastroenterolog,Valiasr Hospital, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان، زنجان Mojtaba Fallahnezhad مجتبی فلاح نژاد 5200319475328460049798 5200319475328460049798 Yes Razi Science Researchers Institute, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تهران، تهران، ایران Maryam Jameshorani مریم جامه شورانی 5200319475328460049799 5200319475328460049799 No Dept.of Gastroenterolog,Valiasr Hospital, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان، زنجان Saideh Mazloumzadeh سعیده مظلوم زاده 5200319475328460049800 5200319475328460049800 No Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان، زنجان Masoud Asadi Khiavi مسعود اسدی خیاوی atabak76@yahoo.com 5200319475328460049801 5200319475328460049801 No Applied Pharmacology Reaserch Center, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. دانشگاه علوم پزشکی زنجان، زنجان
