Abstract 202: Predictors of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in Intracerebral Hemorrhage [Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II]

Conclusions: We identified several independent early predictors of PEG placement in ICH. Early identification of ICH patients who will require PEG placement could result in reduced resource utilization, quicker initiation of rehabilitation, shorter hospital length of stay, and reduction of preventable complications. Prospective studies are required to determine optimal patient selection and timing for PEG placement.
