Predictors of symptom recurrence and survival in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction treated with self-expanding metal stents

N Z Med J. 2024 Oct 18;137(1604):22-34. doi: 10.26635/6965.6601.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) poses a substantial symptomatic burden. While various therapeutic options exist, self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are a common palliative choice for patients who are ineligible for surgery. We studied SEMS outcomes to identify factors influencing stent dysfunction and patient survival.METHODS: A multi-centre, retrospective review of 190 patients with GOO undergoing SEMS at three tertiary hospitals was performed over 2016-2022. Technical success, clinical success and adverse outcomes were recorded. Predictors of stent dysfunction and survival were evaluated using multivariate regression.RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in 186/190 (97.9%) and…
