Abstract
Background: PEG placement is a common method for delivering artificial nutrition and hydration (ANH) to patients with Alzheimer's dementia who are unable to sustain sufficient oral intake. We have previously shown that the incident rate of PEG placement has nearly tripled from 1992 to 2003. It is unclear whether racial differences impact on the timing and utilization of PEG placement. Objective: To describe racial characteristics associated with PEG placement in patients with Alzheimer's dementia.
