Tube feeding at end of life

An interesting study here in Archives of Internal Medicine, which provides more iformation about decision making in patients with severe dementia.  Also, a link to the very powerful NEJM piece which is now in its 11th year.  And yet, patients still receive PEG tubes for severe dementia for reasons which are unclear but are not rooted in the evidence.
