Epidemiology and Endoscopic Findings of the Patients Suffering from Upper Gastrointestinal System Bleeding
Öz
Objective: In the present study, we aim to investigate general and endoscopic findings of the patients who were hospitalized in our clinic because of upper gastrointestinal system bleeding (UGSB).
Methods: The files of 403 patients who applied to our clinic between January 2014 and December 2014 with UGSB diagnosis were scanned retrospectively. The demographic, laboratorial and endoscopic findings of the patients were examined.
Results: The average age of 403 patients were 61.12±17.1 (min. 17- max. 96) and while 263 of these patients were male (65.3(%), 140 of them were female (34.7%). Of all, 234 patients had an additional disease. The most frequently observed diseases were hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery. 259 (64.3%) of the patients used to take at least one drug and 212 (52.6%) of the patients used to get non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and/or aspirin. The most common reasons of UGSB were duodenal ulcer in 158 patients (39.2%), stomach ulcer in 97 patients (24%), erosive gastroduodenitis in 66 patients (16.3%) and esophageal varices in 38 patients (9.4%). Unfortunately, 18 of the patients died.
Conclusion: The most common reason of UGSB is duodenal ulcer bleeding. In spite of the technological development nowadays, it is a disease which has mortality.
Key words: Upper gastrointestinal system bleeding, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, variceal hemorrhage
