Malnutrition is the most common problem affecting up to 40% of hospitalized patients. Malnutrition develops when metabolic requirements exceed the intake, and can develop due to reduced nutritional intake, increased nutrient requirement, or altered ability to utilize or absorb nutrients.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is usually a straightforward procedure.
