A Multicentre Trial to Evaluate Various Feeding Policies in Patients with a Recent Stroke.

  • In patients with a recent stroke, who can take adequate fluids orally, does oral nutritional supplementation increase the proportion of patients surviving without disability?
  • In patients with a recent stroke, who are unable to take adequate fluids orally, does early initiation of tube feeding (NG or PEG) increase the proportion of patients surviving without severe disability?
  • In patients with a recent stroke who need tube feeding, is a PEG tube, instead of traditional NG tube, associated with better outcomes?
