Timing of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement in post-stroke patients does not impact mortality, complications, or outcomes

	Death in 30 d, OR [95%CI]	Death in 90 d, OR [95%CI]	Peri-procedural complication, OR [95%CI]	Post-procedural complications, OR [95%CI]
Protein calorie malnutrition (albumin ≤ 3.2)	0.757 [0.179-3.21]	0.854 [0.289-2.527]	1.31 [0.37-4.7]	1.07 [0.54-2.11]
Documented SIRS criteria or infection pre-procedure	0.524 [0.06-4.52]	0.56 [0.12-2.67]	1.55 [0.38-6.28]	1.92 [0.85-4.35]
Presence of cardiovascular risk equivalent independent of this stroke	0.24 [0.05-1.24]	0.35 [0.11-1.09]	0.65 [0.19-2.23]	1.63 [0.82-3.24]
