Tu1115 PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROSTOMY (PEG) IS ASSOCIATED WITH BETTER OUTCOMES AS COMPARED TO INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY (IR) GUIDED AND SURGICAL GASTROSTOMIES: INSIGHTS FROM THE NATIONWIDE INPATIENT SAMPLE
Gastrostomy is a commonly performed procedure for enteral feeding in patients with diverse conditions such as malnutrition, stroke, dementia, Parkinsonism and other neurodegenerative diseases as well as head and neck and upper gastrointestinal cancers.
