Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the reasons for placing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes and any complications that arose.
- Conducted at Patel Hospital in Karachi, the research included 367 patients aged 4-95 who received PEG tubes from 2008 to 2018, with data analyzed using SPSS 21.
- The most common reason for placement was neurological dysphagia, and while there were no deaths associated with the procedure, 9.5% of patients experienced PEG-site infections.

Our search produced three suitable studies that reported on 117 patients in total.
