Outcomes of enteral tube feeding according to feeding type (n = 68) (No. of patients, %).

Enteral tube feeding	Decrease in GI symptoms (n = 48)	Weight gain (n = 64)	Increase in DQ (n = 48)
NG tube	6/7 (86)	1/10 (10)	1/4 (25)
Gastrostomy	31/41 (76)	17/54 (32)	9/44 (21)
Total	37/48 (77)	18/64 (28)	10/48 (21)

Decrease in GI symptoms: decreased symptoms for at least two consecutive hospital visits following the start of enteral tube feeding

Weight gain: increase in z-score in 1 year after the start of enteral tube feeding

Increase in DQ: increase of DQ after at least 3 months since the start of enteral tube feeding.
