To evaluate the complications associated with the image-guided insertion of gastrostomy (G) and gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tubes in children, performed by the retrograde percutaneous route. Methods. A convenience sample of 208 charts of 840 patients recorded as having G and/or GJ tubes placed by the interventional radiology service in a 4-year period (1995–1999) at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, were selected for review. Complications were categorized as major (including subcutaneous abscess, peritonitis, septicemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and death) or minor. Results. In total, 253 tubes (208 G tubes, 41 GJ tubes, 4 G and GJ tubes) were placed in the 208 patients reviewed. The median age at the time of insertion was 15 months (range: 7 days–18 years). The most common diagnostic category was neurologic disease (47%). The main indications for tube insertion were recorded as failure to thrive (57%) and risk of aspiration (47%). Major complications were s...

Most of the recommendations published thus far are adult-focused. In this commentary, we discuss the development and early implementation of a Choosing Wisely 'top 5' list specifically aimed at children being cared for at our tertiary care children's hospital. We hope that this will encourage others involved in the health care of infants and children to engage in further thought and discussion about the appropriateness of current tests and therapies. Despite often focusing on the deficiencies, we are privileged to have a highly developed and well-resourced health care system in Canada which allows us tremendous freedom to order tests and treatments. It is incumbent on us as health care providers to exercise that privilege with the utmost responsibility and strive to choose wisely and thoughtfully when selecting tests and therapies for our patients.
