    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Gastritis is a common condition that can lead to upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • Hematemesis and melena are significant symptoms indicating potential gastrointestinal pathology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical characteristics and outcomes of gastritis patients presenting with hematemesis and/or melena.
    • To identify factors associated with bleeding and prognosis in this patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of medical records of 60 gastritis patients.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, presenting symptoms, endoscopic findings, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The study included 60 patients (mean age 40, 2:1 male to female ratio).

  • 19 patients had additional upper gastrointestinal lesions besides gastritis.
  • Severe underlying diseases and alcohol/drug use were identified as bleeding triggers in 16 and 13 patients, respectively.
  • Medical management resulted in a relatively good prognosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gastritis patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding have diverse etiologies, including other lesions, severe comorbidities, and substance use.
    • Prompt medical treatment is associated with favorable outcomes in this patient group.
