Abstract
Abstract Background The use of GastroJejunal Tubes (GJTs) is an increasingly common method for providing post-pyloric enteral nutrition in pediatric patients. Aims To describe the patients with GJT including the indication, comorbidities including by system, as well as tube related complications. Methods The charts of 101 patients who had a GJT over a one-year period (2019–20) were retrospectively reviewed including demographics, medical diagnoses, information about tube placement, maintenance, and complications including malposition, balloon failure, blockages, and leakages / breaks. Results The top indications for GJT are aspiration and GERD. 73.3% have >3 system comorbidities (ie CNS, GI, Resp). Mean age of GJT placement was 43 months. 78% remain on a PPI and 24% are on a prokinetic. 24% continue to eat some amount orally. Over this one-year period, 92% continue with a GJT (mean duration 4 years, max 15), 4% have reverted back to a G-tube, 1% had a surgical J tube placed, and 3% died (not due to the GJT). Following initial placement, these 101 patients underwent 1194 GJT related procedures, (417 urgent changes, 777 routine changes) with 98.3% technical success. Patients needed an average of one urgent repair per year (3.2/1000 GJT days) and the majority of patients required >1 emergency visit. Those with routine GJT changes seem to have fewer urgent repairs (Figure 1). Conclusions Children with GJT represent a growing complex patient population. GJT are being used for the longer term. Routine maintenance seems supported by our data although doesn’t prevent the need for urgent repairs or other complications. Frameworks and guidelines are needed for this essential technology to improve clinical care. Funding Agencies None

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
