All patients were followed up for two years. We collected their clinical data from the medical records. Indicators, such as body mass index (BMI), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (HGB), complications, including recurrent aspiration pneumonia, gastrointestinal bleeding, reflux esophagitis, and outcomes (survival or death) were compared between the two groups semi-annually.Results: SAt both six months and one year after receiving treatment, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in indicators, complications and outcomes, with all P > 0.05. It can be seen that, when the patients were followed up for one and a half years18 months, ALB was lower in the NGT group (33.81± 0.46) compared with the PEG group (36.14± 0.50) (P < 0.05). After two years of follow-up, differences between the NGT and PEG group could be seen in a variety of indicators, including BMI (20.08± 0.27 vs 21.03± 0.25), WBC (9.12± 0.56 vs 7.08± 0.29), ALB (33.11± 0.43 vs 35.75± 0.49), creatinine (55.07± 1.83 vs 63.21± 2.94), and the complications, such as aspiration pneumonia, gastrointestinal bleeding, reflux esophagitis, and electrolyte disorder, in the PEG group were significantly reduced compared to the NGT groupthan that in its counterpart, P < 0.05. In the two-year follow-up period, there were 13 and 22 patients died in the PEG group and NGT group, respectively.Conclusion: Both techniques are safe and effective in the short term. However, on a longer-term basis, PEG is shown to be superior to NGT feeding in improving nutrition and preventing common complications for patients with swallowing disturbances.Keywords: percutaneous endoscopy gastrostomy, nasogastric tube feeding, swallowing disturbances, two-year, follow-up
