Figure 3. Postdischarge complications in patients who received direct enteral tubes (DET) vs nasogastric tubes (NGT) alone.

Figure 3

Cumulative incidence of postdischarge complications with 95% confidence intervals in DET (red) and NGT (blue) groups, including (A) aspiration pneumonia, (B) pressure ulcer, (C) sepsis, and (D) gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Patients with DET had higher rates of all complications at all time points from discharge until 2 years (p < 0.01 for difference between patients with DET and NGT, using the Gray test for equality of cumulative incidence functions).
