Abstract
Innovations in Care Delivery strives to highlight articles that feature advances in care delivery in both our Latest Articles section and our Editors' Top 5 Recommended Reading section. A recent feature in Latest Articles was a Neurology ® article published on January 24 titled “Outcomes among patients with direct enteral vs nasogastric tube placement after acute stroke” by Joundi et al.1 The authors sought to “compare complications, disability, and long-term mortality of patients who received direct enteral tube vs nasogastric tube feeding alone after acute stroke.” Looking at patients within 30 days of discharge, Joundi et al.1 discovered that “Patients with DET placement after acute stroke have more severe disability at discharge compared to those with NGT placement alone, and associated higher rates of institutionalization, medical complications, and long-term mortality. These findings may inform goals of care discussions and decisions regarding long-term tube feeding after acute stroke.”
