Effect of PEG Placement on change in patient scores for the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale Revised survey (ALSFRS-R). PEG user ALSFRS-R declines were divided between the first ALS clinic visit to PEG placement and from PEG placement to the last recorded clinic visit. ALSFRS-R declines were not significantly different after PEG placement (p > 0.05). Thus, PEG placement and usage did not impact rate of ALSFRS-R decline.
