ABSTRACT

Digestive hemorrhage has been a frequent cause of elevated morbidity and mortality in elderly patients in the last past 3 years. Given the high incidence, it was decided to conduct a study between the months of January and December of 2011, with the objective of identifying the most frequent sites of hemorrhage and the most persistent precipitating factors. The sample pool consisted of 272 individuals of which 202 met the inclusion criteria. All underwent gastroduodenoscopy, and data recorded included age, site of bleeding, toxic habits, and medication usage. The data was processed using percentages and the following was discovered: Most patients fell within the age range of 60-74 years; the majority of subjects ingested coffee, tobacco products, NSAIDS, and Aspirin; the predominant symptoms were melena and hematemesis. In conclusion, we found the stomach to be the principal site of hemorrhage (generally due to erosive gastritis). The most persistent precipitating factor was determined to be the consumption of coffee, NSAIDS and/or Aspirin.
