Gastrointestinal bleeding from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Abstract:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) represent a remarkably frequently used class of drugs. The major motivation for the use of these drugs is the known gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity of aspirin. From premarketing studies it was known that NSAIDs could cause subclinical GI bleeding, but there were no controlled studies of the association between NSAID use and clinically apparent upper GI bleeding. In part because of the frequent use of these drugs and in part because of the potential seriousness of this adverse reaction, this association has been the subject of a considerable amount of postmarketing pharmacoepidemiology research. Despite this, many questions remain unanswered. This paper reviews the existing data on GI bleeding from NSAIDs and provides suggestions for future studies which could address some of the deficiencies in the data.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
