Priority 10 from the Liver Glycogen Storage Disease (International) PSP
| UNCERTAINTY: What are the risks and benefits of different options for overnight treatment for patients with liver Glycogen Storage Disease and how can we maximize safety? (JLA PSP Priority 10) | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | 10 |
| JLA question ID | 0090/10 |
| Explanatory note |
Overnight treatment for liver GSD can consist of different modalities such as cornstarch therapy or continuous gastric dripfeeding.

|---|---|
| Original uncertainty examples | Is nighttime feeding via tube necessary? ~ Is there proven evidence that over night cornstarch started in infancy has no worse consequences in terms of glucose responsivenes and secondary complications in GSD1a compared to overnight gastric trip feeding? ~ Over night Blood Sugar management. ~ How can safety be improved during the night? ~ Risk of dislocation of the tube in GSD 1 and 3 during the night. How to secure this without burdening the parents too much? |
