Ulcer Hemorrhage

Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is one of the most frequent complications that occurs in 15 20% patients with peptic ulcer disease. Recurrent ulcer hemorrhage presents in the first 72 hours after initial bleeding; they are the most important cause of death. The aim of our study was to show the possibility of ulcer recurrent hemorrhage 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-factors 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 % possibility. Probability of death is 8.27 times greater if ulcer hemorrhage occurs.

The appropriateness of long-term cimetidine prescribing was evaluated retrospectively in 243 outpatients. Criteria defining appropriate indications for the use of cimetidine for longer than eight weeks were established. Of the 243 patients surveyed, 115 (47 percent) were considered to be inappropriately receiving long-term cimetidine, either because they had never been objectively studied radiographically or endoscopically (23 percent) or had negative results before initiation of therapy (24 percent). Risk factors known to be associated with recurrent peptic ulcer disease were reviewed. Patients fulfilling criteria for appropriate long-term cimetidine usage had a greater prevalence of risk factors compared to the nonjustifiable group. Of particular interest, individuals considered appropriate for long-term therapy were very likely to have had a gastrointestinal bleeding episode prior to beginning therapy (52 percent for gastric ulcer, 8 percent for the nonjustifiable group). This increased prevalence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage may be due to the inherent nature of peptic ulcer disease or a result of physicians selecting affected individuals who may benefit from long-term treatment. Eliminating inappropriate usage of long-term cimetidine in conjunction with a thorough evaluation of risk factors for recurrent ulcer disease can be useful in selecting those individuals most likely to benefit from long-term cimetidine therapy.

IntroductionIn 2013, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) caused over 300 000 deaths globally. Low-income and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected. However, there is limited information regarding risk factors of perioperative mortality rates in these countries.ObjectiveTo assess perioperative mortality rates from complicated PUD in Africa and associated risk factors.DesignWe performed a systematic review and a random-effect meta-analysis of literature describing surgical management of complicated PUD in Africa. We used subgroup analysis and meta-regression analyses to investigate sources of variations in the mortality rates and to assess the risk factors contributing to mortality.ResultsFrom 95 published reports, 10 037 patients underwent surgery for complicated PUD. The majority of the ulcers (78%) were duodenal, followed by gastric (14%). Forty-one per cent of operations were for perforation, 22% for obstruction and 9% for bleeding. The operations consisted of vagotomy (38%), primary repair (34%), resection and reconstruction (12%), and drainage procedures (6%). The overall PUD mortality rate was 6.6% (95% CI 5.4% to 8.1%). It increased to 9.7% (95% CI 7.1 to 13.0) when we limited the analysis to studies published after the year 2000. The correlation was higher between perforated PUD and mortality rates (r=0.41, p<0.0001) than for bleeding PUD and mortality rates (r=0.32, p=0.001). Non-significant differences in mortality rates existed between sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and North Africa and within SSA.ConclusionPerioperative mortality rates from complicated PUD in Africa are substantially high and could be increasing over time, and there are possible regional differences.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is found in more than 90% cases of peptic ulcer. This study examines the possibility of association of Helicobacter pylori in perforated peptic ulcer disease and its relation to persisting ulcer as well as the influence of other risk factors; namely: smoking, alcohol, current non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid use. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, total of 50 cases of peptic ulcer perforation admitted in College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Nepal were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All patients who presented with suspected peptic ulcer perforation were included in the study and the perforations were repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch and were given triple therapy postoperatively. The age, sex, incidence, mode of presentation, precipitating factors, association with the risk factors and postoperative complications were all evaluated and compared. Results: Of 50 patients studied, the age ranged from 17 to 75 years, mean age being 40.1 years with the peak incidence in the 3rd and 5th decades of life showing a male dominance (92%). H. pylori was seen in ulcer edge biopsy in 29 patients (58%). Most common clinical presentation was pain abdomen, the most common signs of perforation were tenderness, rebound tenderness and absent bowel sounds. The mean duration of stay in hospital in H. pylori positive patients was 12.07±8.15 days as compared with 11.1±5.12 days in H. pylori negative patients. The incidence of peptic ulcer perforation was higher in the patients consuming alcohol (64%) than smokers (48%), followed by NSAIDs user(22%). 20% of the patients with delayed presentation developed complications postoperatively. Perforated peptic ulcer was repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch Repair, followed by anti H. pylori therapy in all of them. Conclusion: Peptic ulcer perforation is quite common among the patients with peptic ulcer disease with history of chronic smoking, alcoholism and analgesic intake, more commonly in males. There is association of H. pylori in 58% of patients with peptic ulcer perforation.

Abstract Backgrounds: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a common gastrointestinal tract disease characterized by mucosal damage secondary to pepsin and gastric acid secretion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the five-year recurrence rate for treated patients with PUD and risk factors contributing to PUD relapses.Methods: From 2016 through 2021, all patients with endoscopy-proved PUD were identified by reviewing medical records (Best-Care system). Possible risk factors including smoking, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, alcohol, caffeine, and steroid were analyzed by univariate analysis. Treatment outcomes, 5-year recurrence rate, and mortality rate were assessed.Results: Among 223 patients, there were 187 (83.8%), who diagnosed endoscopy-proved PUD and 36 (16.2%), who diagnosed clinical PUD. Among them, 126 (56.5%) patients were males and the mean age was 62±2 years. The five years recurrence rate of PUD was 30.9%. There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the duodenal ulcer (33.3%) and the gastric ulcer (28.8%). By univariate analysis, the use of steroid and NSAID and H. pylori infection were potential risk factors for PUD (P < 0.005). The common complication of PUD was gastrointestinal bleeding (34.1%). Patients who had a complicated PUD were associated with a higher rate of recurrence (45.9%) compared to the uncomplicated PUD (19.2%) (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that the five years recurrence rate of PUD was 30.9%. The use of steroid and NSAID and H. pylori infection were risk factors for recurrence of PUD. PUD places a significant burden on health care systems. Therefore, a multicenter prospective study is needed for effective management to prevent recurrence and complications of PUD.
