Introduction The clinical presentations of epistaxis share a wide spectrum, ranging from minor, self-limiting bleeds to life-threatening hemorrhages, which often require immediate intervention. Our cross-sectional study was conducted to bridge that gap in this direction, focusing on the determination of possible risk factors associated with epistaxis, which undertakes a comprehensive analysis of 500 cases of it in a tertiary care centre in India. Materials and methods A total of 500 patients with epistaxis were analyzed for their risk factor association using SPSS software version 27 (IBM Inc., Armonk, New York). Results We observed the highest association of epistaxis with hypertension (42.8%), and we also found that males share a higher frequency (62.4%) of hypertension as compared to females. Conclusion We conclude by establishing that hypertension, nasal trauma, and anatomical anomalies such as deviated nasal septum (DNS) are the primary independent predictors for epistaxis and recommend targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies to reduce morbidity and recurrence.
引言 鼻出血的临床表现多种多样，从轻微的、可自行停止的出血到危及生命的大出血，后者往往需要立即干预。我们开展了这项横断面研究，以期在这方面弥补差距，重点是确定与鼻出血相关的可能危险因素，该研究对印度一家三级医疗中心的500例鼻出血病例进行了全面分析。材料与方法 我们使用SPSS 27版软件（IBM公司，纽约州阿蒙克）对总共500例鼻出血患者的危险因素关联进行了分析。结果 我们观察到鼻出血与高血压的关联最为密切（42.8%），并且我们还发现，男性高血压的发生率（62.4%）高于女性。结论 我们通过研究确定，高血压、鼻外伤以及鼻中隔偏曲（DNS）等解剖异常是鼻出血的主要独立预测因素，并建议采取有针对性的预防和治疗策略以降低发病率和复发率。
