METHODS FOR PREDICTING PEPTIC ULCER BLEEDING

Abstract

Ulcer disease (UL) is a chronic, recurrent disease with alternating periods of exacerbation and remission, the leading manifestation of which is the formation of a defect (ulcer) in the wall of the stomach and duodenum (Ivashkin V.T., 2020). In recent years, risk factors for ulcerative hemorrhages include advanced age, comorbidities (CP), male sex, smoking and alcohol abuse, large size of the ulcer defect, painless course of the disease, high hydrochloric acid secretion, stressful nature of ulcerative lesions, and Helicobacter pylori contamination of the gastric mucosa. The probability of gastroduodenal bleeding in such patients increases by 3-5 times, and the risk of death increases by 8 times (Ataliev A.E.2003, Graham D.Y. et al. 2008, Lau J.Y. 2011)..
