Highlights
The pinnacle for SPRs who undertake research is to initially present in abstract form at national and international meetings and publish in peer-reviewed journals
We have previously shown that full publication rate from the BSG has ranged from 20.4–55.9%, the trend over a 15 year period suggests a reduction in full publication rates
Our study prospectively presents 10 years of abstract publications rates and qualitative data from the South Yorkshire Regional Gastroenterology meeting
Summary
PEG tube insertion is useful in an appropriately indicated patient but there are some complications to it. Buried Bumper Syndrome is usually a late and rare complication which is normally avoidable but occurs when the stomach lining grows over the internal bumper of a PEG feeding tube and it can lead to infection, inability to administer feeds/medications, peritonitis and admission to hospital. Our literature search of large studies shows the overall incidence of BBS to be 2–4.5%. Aim The aim was to conduct an audit to ascertain the incidence of BBS in our Hospital Trust (ABMU) and to develop tools to try and reduce the incidence as well as re-audit our practice to assess the improvement
