dc.description.abstractAim: To investigate the effects of SAR-CoV-2 infection on nutritional status in patients who underwent \rpercutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for neurological disorders.\rMethods: The clinical and laboratory follow-up data of the patients who underwent PEG in our clinic between \r2002 and 2018 were evaluated before and during the pandemic. The results were analyzed statistically.\rResults: Twenty patients were included. They were 70.9±64.4 months old at the time of PEG, 97.9±67.8 \rmonths before the pandemic, and 105.5±60.8 months during the pandemic (p=0.048). Weight for age at the \rtime of PEG increased from 10.7±4.6 kg to 15.6±7.2 kg before the pandemic. Hemoglobin was 12.3±1.4 g/dl \rat the time of PEG, 13.5±1.6 g/dl before the pandemic (p=0.045). Vitamin D was 24.1±8.9 ng/ml at the time \rof PEG and increased to 45.7±9.7 ng/ml during the pandemic (p=0.018). The annual number of visits before \rthe pandemic was 9.8±5.7 and decreased to 2±1.7 during the pandemic (p=0.003). Twelve (%60) of the patients \rdeveloped PEG complications, 6(30%) had their PEG replaced. Those who had developed PEG complications \rhad low levels of albumin (3.3±0.4 vs 4±0.4 g/dl, p=0.022) and vitamin B12 (578±199 vs 1299±533 pg/ml, \rp=0.007). \rConclusions: Even if PEG is applied late, it provides a partial improvement in patients, but the COVID-19 \rpandemic reversed these benefits and caused an increase in PEG complications. In order for the patient to get \rthe maximum benefit from PEG, close follow-up is essential.en_US
