Mo1063 Early Placement of Gastrostomy Tube Is Associated With Lower Rates of Pneumonia and Decreased Inpatient Mortality
In patients with acute cerebrovascular disease including stroke, pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death, most of which is attributed to aspiration pneumonia. It is currently not known whether early placement of gastrostomy tube in patients with stroke decreases the rates of pneumonia or provides inpatient mortality benefit.

Discharge hemoglobin and outcome in patients with acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Conclusions: In patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, a discharge Hb between 8 and 10 g/dL was linked to favorable outcomes on outpatient follow-up. Most patients recovered from anemia without any critical complication within 45 days after discharge.

Gastrointestinal bleeding in patients on novel oral anticoagulants: Risk, prevention and management.
Abstract Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs), which include direct thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) and direct factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban), are gaining popularity in the prevention of embolic stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation as well as in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. However, similar to traditional anticoagulants, NOACs have the side effects of bleeding, including gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Results from both randomized clinical trials and observations studies suggest that high-dose dabigatran (150 mg b.i.d), rivaroxaban and high-dose edoxaban (6...

New predictive model for acute gastrointestinal bleeding in patients taking oral anticoagulants: A cohort study
ConclusionsGastrointestinal bleeding increased the risk of subsequent mortality during follow‐up of anticoagulated patients, highlighting the importance of prevention. The study developed a new scoring model for acute GI bleeding risk based on five factors (no‐proton pump inhibitor use, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, history of peptic ulcer disease, and liver cirrhosis), which was superior to the HAS‐BLED score.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for enteral nutrition: a 5-year clinical experience with 324 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience reconfirmed PEG as a minimally invasive and safe procedure for long-term enteral nutrition in patients with impaired oral intake. However, significant prognostic factors should be taken into account during the preoperative evaluation of patients. Deferral of procedure or specialized postoperative care may be indicated in high risk patients. PMID: 30676011 [PubMed - in process]
