    Elderly patients with gastric ulcers face higher risks, especially with complications. Surgical treatment factors are similar to younger patients, but outcomes require close medical and surgical collaboration.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Gastric ulcers are common in the elderly, presenting unique challenges.
    • Comorbidities and complications significantly impact outcomes in older adults.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of elderly patients with gastric ulcers.
    • To compare outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical management in this demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 701 gastric ulcer patients (1955-1964).
    • Focus on 111 patients aged 70 years or older.
    • Comparison of elderly surgical (43) and non-surgical (68) groups.

    Main Results:

    • Elderly patients had higher incidences of hemorrhage and extragastric diseases.
    • Prognosis was poorer in the aged, with 47% experiencing hemorrhage and 47% accessory diseases.
    • Mortality was 64% in elderly patients with complications versus 4% without.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical treatment indications for elderly gastric ulcer patients are similar to younger patients.
    • Elderly patients face increased risks with both surgical and non-surgical approaches.
    • Close surgeon-physician cooperation is crucial for managing elderly gastric ulcer patients, especially concerning comorbidities.
