[A case study of shifting a patient with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to home care].
We studied the primary factor preventing a patient with PEG from being transferred to home care focusing on the dietic situation. The study has revealed differences in not the age of the patient, the days of hospitalization or hematological and biochemical test data but in the condition of use of home care services or family makeup. In other words, insufficient use of social resources is considered to prevent shifting to home care or continuation of home care of patients with PEG. It is necessary to understand not only dietic situation but social backgrounds of patients and supply information.
