English
Authors' objectives:
This report aims to assess whether percutaneous endoscopy feeding is more effective than nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding in stroke patients requiring enteral feeding with regard to mortality, morbidity and health related quality of life.
Authors' recommendations:
PEG feeding of dysphagic stroke patients is associated with small increases in patient wellbeing and small differences in resource use compared with NGT feeding. The impact of enteral feeding of stroke patients on survival without severe disability is unknown. Trials in progress may provide further information.
