Background: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has been widely acknowledged as a safer method for enteral feeding; however, its long‐term impact on prognosis and quality of life in elderly patients is not sufficiently understood. There are issues still to be studied regarding the indications for PEG, due to the lack of convincing evidence that it reduces expected complications such as aspiration pneumonia or for improving the prognosis of patients with severe dementia.
