Journal Title: The Medical Journal of Bakırköy - Year 2019, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Our aim is to evaluate the demographic characteristics of our non-varicose upper gastrointestinal (GİS) bleeding patients Methods: The files of 60 patients who applied between January 1 2017 and June 30 2017 and who had endoscopic diagnosis of non-variceal bleeding were retrospectively screened. Demographic, laboratory and endoscopic data of patients were recorded. Results: A total of 60 patients were included in the study. Thirty-three (55%) of the patients were male and 27 (45%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 64.27±17.90. When the biochemical parameters of the patients are examined at the time of admission, mean hemoglobin values were 9.54±2.67 g/dL and mean platelet counts were 257.117±95.420/mm3. According to the Forrest classification, 1 patient was 1 (1%), 3 patients (5%) were 1B, 11 patients (18.3%) were 2A, 8 patients (13.3%) were 2B, 6 patients (10% 2C and 31 patients (51.7%) were identified as 3, respectively. Conclusion: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinical condition that must be carefully evaluated in the emergency department. It should be kept in mind that patients may also be exposed to non-specific general symptoms, such as weakness and dizziness, as well as melena and hematemesis/hematochezia.
