Prospective and Multicenter Evaluation of the Impact Of Eus-Guided Gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) On The Quality Of Life Of Patients With Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction (GOO)
Aims EUS-guided gastroenterostomy is emerging as an alternative for GOO. To date no studies have assessed the effect of EUS-GE on patients’ quality of life (QoL).
Methods Prospective multicenter study including consecutive patients with unresectable malignant GOO undergoing primary EUS-GE performed by the orojejunal catheter method. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire EORTC-QLQ-C30 was used to assess QoL at baseline and 1 month after the procedure withscores rangingfrom 0 to 100. Oral intake was assessed using the Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System (GOOSS). Differences between the different outcomes of the EORTC-QLQ-C30 were assessed using linear mixed models with fixed effects for baseline values, and interaction with oncological treatment.
Results A total of 38 patients from 4 centers, including 20 (52.6 %) males, with a median age of 77.3 years (IQR: 65.3-84.4) were included between August 2019-November 2020. Most frequent diagnoses were gastric (n=14;36.8 %) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (n=11;29 %); twenty-two (57.9 %) presented metastatic disease. Before EUS-GE, 20 (52.6 %) tolerated no oral intake, 11 were on liquids only and 7 (18.4 %) were on a soft diet.
Median time until discharge was 5 days (IQR: 2-6). Thirty days after the procedure, 81[MJP1] .5 % reached clinical success (GOOSS ≥2). Overall, 51.6 % of patients received post-procedure palliative chemotherapy.
Overall, global health status improved after EUS-GE (Initial score: 33.3 (16.7-66.6), Final score: 66.6 (33.3-83.3), p = 0.01). [Table 1] includes all functional scales, where no relevant changes were observed. Statistically significant improvements were seen in appetite loss (Initial: 66.6 (0-100), final: 0 (0-66.7), p = 0.02), pain (Initial: 33.3 (0-66.7), final: 0 (0-16.7), p = 0.02), and nausea and vomiting (Initial 50 (25-100), final 0 (0-16.7), p<0.001).

Conclusions EUS-GE allowed a soft/normal diet in 81.5 % of patients and significantly improved the global health status score at one month. Significant reductions in pain, loss of appetite and nausea/vomiting were noted.
