- The study examined the outcomes of 185 patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for long-term nutrition after short-term nasogastric intubation (NI).
- The majority of dysphagia cases (98.4%) were related to central nervous system dysfunction, and the average duration of NI before PEG was around 15.2 weeks.
- Increased esophageal lesions, like esophagitis and ulcers, were found more frequently in patients who had undergone NI for less than 12 weeks, suggesting earlier intervention with PEG might reduce complications.
