One-Year Mortality After Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy: The Prognostic Role of Nutritional Biomarkers and Care Settings.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, complications, and one-year mortality of patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in different care settings (hospital, nursing home, and home). Additionally, we investigated the comparative prognostic role of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and the CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) in predicting mortality among these patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 236 adult patients who underwent PEG placement between January 2022 and December 2023 was performed. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. The PNI was calculated according to the following formula: PNI = 10 × (albumin) + 0.005 × (lymphocyte count). The CAR was obtained by the ratio of the CRP level to
