    The study analyzed 290 acute ischemic stroke patients to identify risk factors for nasogastric tube removal failure at discharge and 3 months post-discharge.

  • 2

    Significant risk factors for NGT removal failure included age, comorbidities, stroke location, etiology, severity, and rehabilitation factors.

  • 3

    Cardioembolic stroke type was identified as the most significant independent predictor of NGT removal failure, with an odds ratio of 10.31.

  • 4

    The study utilized a standardized dysphagia evaluation protocol to ensure clinical validity in assessing NGT placement and removal.

  • 5

    Findings suggest a need for further prospective research to establish causal relationships between identified risk factors and NGT removal outcomes.
