Gastrostomy is an enteral nutrition option. Indications for its placement are diverse, among them, the alteration in the mechanics of swallowing, frequently present in patients with neurological diseases. Nutritional recovery is the objective in these patients evaluating the nutritional status after the placement of a PEG in the pediatric population. This is a retrospective cohort conducted to evaluate nutritional recovery in pediatric patients with PEG placement. It was performed using anthropometric and biochemical parameters before and after placement. Forty-seven subjects were included, from which weight, height, and upper arm circumference were obtained, to evaluate nutritional recovery using BMI or W/L according to age. Significant nutritional improvement was demonstrated in a population of 39 patients, who had a mean follow-up of 7 months. In our population, PEG is an enteral nutrition strategy that has a significant positive impact on nutritional status in a mean of 7 months after its placement. Therefore, considering the evolution time of these patients will guide the clinician in making decisions regarding surveillance and monitoring parameters of the nutritional status.
