Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is one of the most frequent complications that occurs in 15 20% patients with peptic ulcer disease. Recurrent ulcer haemorrhage presents in the first 72 hours after initial bleeding: they are the most im portant cause of death. The aim of our study was to show the possibility of ulcer recurrent haemorrhage combined with risk factors: age 60, high risk lesion (active arterial bleeding, visible blood vessel, adherent coagulum), the size, ulcer base and localization (posterior duodenal wall. lesser curvature or high gastric ulcer), commorbidities ( cardiovascular and liver diseases) and haemodynamic instabilities. The combination of these risk-factor, unproportionally increases the risk: presence of two risk factors gives the possibility of recurrent bleeding of 16.67%, three risk factors 58.82%, four 93.33%, while the presence of five risk factors shows 100% posibility. Probability of death is 8.27 times greater if ulcer haemorrhage occurs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
