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. PEG is usually preferred but IR guided and surgical gastrostomies are often performed based on patient related factors and local practice preferences. The aim of our study was to review demographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing gastrostomies in the inpatient setting.
