Article Synopsis
- A study investigated risk factors for wound infections in patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) insertions, tracking over 600 cases for three years.
- Of those studied, 25% developed wound infections, with higher risks associated with nicotine use, history of ischemic stroke, and head and neck cancer.
- The most common bacteria found in these infections were Enterobacterales, and the study concluded that antibiotic prophylaxis did not significantly reduce infection rates, indicating a need for better clinical practices.
