This multi-center survey highlights agreement among clinicians on key aspects of indication, challenges, and limitations such as delayed decision-making and the absence of standardized pathways regarding the timing, method, and overall approach to gastrostomy insertion in APS. This study identified next steps to facilitate a more structured approach to future research toward a consensus on best practices for gastrostomy in APS. Addressing these challenges is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and overall care quality in APS.
