Abstract
On the basis of data from 1327 patients, those who undergo gastrostomy have significantly lower mortality than those who defer the procedure. Without applying the SGSS, clinicians are able to select patients most likely to benefit from gastrostomy. The SGSS could provide objective support to clinicians involved in making ethically contentious or potentially litigious decisions.
