A retrospective survey was made of all 189 patients admitted with acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage to the Belfast City Hospital in one year. The commonest single reason for admission was peptic ulcer disease, but this was lower than in other published series from the United Kingdom. Overall mortality was 4.8%. The majority of patients did not require either blood transfusion or surgery. There may be potential benefits of endoscopic haemostatic techniques to deal with this condition.
对一年中因急性上消化道出血入住贝尔法斯特市医院的189例患者进行了回顾性调查。入院最常见的单一原因是消化性溃疡疾病,但这一比例低于英国其他已发表的系列研究。总体死亡率为4.8%。大多数患者既不需要输血也不需要手术。内镜止血技术可能对治疗这种疾病有潜在益处。
