    This study analyzed 351 acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage cases, finding that while emergency surgeries decreased operative mortality, gastric lesions are increasing, and duodenal ulcers are declining. Management changes impact patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Acute gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage is a significant clinical challenge.
    • Understanding disease patterns and age-related outcomes is crucial for effective management.
    • Previous studies may not reflect current trends in GI bleeding management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze patterns of acute GI hemorrhage in 351 patients.
    • To define age-related operative and mortality rates.
    • To identify changes in disease patterns and management over time.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 351 patients with acute GI hemorrhage.
    • Categorization of bleeding sources (upper vs. lower GI, esophageal varices).
    • Evaluation of emergency surgical interventions and their outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Upper GI hemorrhage (85%) was more common than lower GI (15%).
    • Esophageal varices constituted one-third of admissions.
    • Emergency surgery was required in 38% of cases, primarily for benign ulcer disease; operative mortality decreased due to assertive surgical policies.
    • Stress bleeding has disappeared; gastric lesions are increasing while duodenal ulcers are decreasing.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute GI hemorrhage patterns have evolved, with declining duodenal ulcers and rising gastric lesions.
    • Changes in management, including more assertive surgical intervention, have reduced operative mortality across age groups.
    • These evolving patterns necessitate updated training and patient management strategies.
