A retrospective study is reported in which the ingestion of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) in 269 patients with perforated peptic ulceration and 269 age/sex matched controls admitted between 1973-1982 was compared. A highly significant statistical difference was found (p less than 0.001) in those aged over 65. There was no statistical difference, however, in those aged under 65. Furthermore we have shown a highly statistically significant correlation (p less than 0.0001) between the annual number of patients aged over 65 with perforated peptic ulcers taking NSAID and the annual number of prescriptions issued for these drugs in the region. No such correlation was found for patients aged under 65 years. We suggest that the elderly especially women are unduly susceptible to NSAID associated peptic ulcer perforation, and discuss factors that may account for this.
本文报告了一项回顾性研究,比较了1973年至1982年间收治的269例消化性溃疡穿孔患者和269例年龄及性别匹配的对照者使用非甾体抗炎药(NSAID)的情况。在65岁以上人群中发现了高度显著的统计学差异(p<0.001)。然而,65岁以下人群中没有统计学差异。此外,我们还发现,65岁以上服用NSAID的消化性溃疡穿孔患者的年例数与该地区这些药物的年处方数之间存在高度显著的统计学相关性(p<0.0001)。65岁以下患者未发现此类相关性。我们认为老年人尤其是女性对NSAID相关的消化性溃疡穿孔过度敏感,并讨论了可能导致这种情况的因素。
