Background And Aim: Malnutrition and muscle mass loss are complications in liver cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis (AH). Hospitalised patients who do not meet nutritional requirements are recommended to be fed enterally or parenterally, but no guidelines recommend a specific type of tube. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of jejunal versus gastric feeding.
