To this end and on the initiative of the internal medicine department, several clinical sessions were conducted with the most directly involved departments, as well as another general hospital session, all as part of the “Inadvisable Practices” recommendations promoted by the Spanish Ministry of Health.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a> We then retrospectively analyzed the discharge reports of all patients hospitalized at our center who were diagnosed with dementia (472 in the second semester of 2015 and 452 for the same period in 2017). We collected their demographic characteristics, comorbidity and type of feeding at discharge (oral, nasogastric or gastrostomy). We defined advanced dementia as stage 7 of the Global Deterioration Scale.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">6</a><a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a> shows the patients with each type of EN for both periods and the significance levels with Fisher’s exact test, showing the high degree of compliance with the recommendations indicated in the clinical pathway. The high degree of multidisciplinary consensus in preparing these recommendations was the key element in achieving these results. “Therapeutic inertia” in managing dysphagia in patients with advanced dementia has changed, although it is possible that the decreased use of tubes in hospitals will entail an increase in the use of tubes in geriatric centers, which would require the implementation of other strategies.<elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia>According to the United Nations, there were 24 million individuals with dementia worldwide in 2001; by 2040, the number is expected to increase to 81 million, due in large measure to the increased life expectancy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> In the population 85 years or older, almost 50% present chronic cognitive impairment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> For many patients with advanced dementia, feeding problems are the most common complication, affecting more than 85% of such patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">7</a> For their family members, the decision to start enteral feeding is affected by complex bioethical issues, although they are typically aware of the natural and irreversible disease progression.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> A study on a cohort of institutionalized patients with advanced dementia estimated that 6-month mortality was 25% and that mean survival was 1.3 years,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">7</a> similar figures to that of other diseases with poor prognoses (e.g., numerous cancers and functional class IV heart failure). In this respect, our role as health professionals should be to inform patients and their families as soon as possible as to the manifestations that will appear in the advanced phase of dementia and what the best scientific evidence recommends. These recommendations should always be presented with the utmost respect for the previous instructions expressed by the patient or by their family acting as representatives. In the US, however, 15% of internists who treat this type of patient are unaware that inserting feeding tubes is associated with agitation, 38% are unaware of the scientific societies’ recommendations on this subject, and 63% stated that the family requested inserting a PEG against the physician’s recommendations.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">1</a>In Spain, the “Assistive Document for Decision Making in Managing Patients with Advanced Dementia”,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a> written in 2008 by the Andalusian Society of Internal Medicine, recommended that, given the lack of scientific evidence to justify EN for these patients, healthcare practitioners should not promote the use of EN for these patients. In the “Commitment for Quality by the Scientific Societies”, the Spanish Society of Geriatric Medicine and the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology have since 2016 included the recommendation to “not indicate nasogastric or percutaneous gastrostomy tubes for patients with advanced phase dementia”,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a> a recommendation that will surely be progressively implemented in clinical practice in the coming years."
