Abstract

Introduction: persistent dysphagia affects 15 % of stroke patients and contributes to malnutrition, aspiration, and death. This study aimed to characterize patients with post-stroke dysphagia who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), and to assess the impact of PEG feeding on nutritional status and outcome. Methods: an observational and retrospective study using records from patients with post-stroke dysphagia who underwent PEG. Body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, transferrin, and cholesterol were recorded at the time of PEG insertion (T0) and 3 months later (T3). The evolution of these parameters was analyzed and compared to survival. Results: we obtained data from 158 patients (53.2 % males) with a median age of 75 years. Most strokes were ischemic (n = 135, 85.4 %). Median time between stroke and PEG was 2 months. Median survival after gastrostomy was 16 months. At admission, 41.6 % of patients had low BMI, 62.3 % low albumin, 68.6 % low transferrin, and 59.6 % low cholesterol levels. The prevalence of low albumin and low transferrin was higher in the patients who underwent PEG more than 2 months after stroke. A significant increase in albumin and transferrin, and a normalization of cholesterol levels was observed after 3 months of PEG feeding. Mortality was 12.9 %, 27.7 %, and 40 % at 1, 3, and 12 months, respectively. Survival was lower in patients with low albumin, transferrin or total cholesterol at admission. Conclusions: the prevalence of malnutrition is high among patients with post-stroke dysphagia. PEG feeding improves albumin, transferrin, and cholesterol levels. Early post-PEG mortality is high and must be considered on an individual basis.
