Overview

This prospective observational study examines endoscopic findings in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, suggesting a focus on treatable risk factors.

Key Points

This study aims to examine the clinical characteristics and endoscopic findings in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Conducted as a prospective observational study at a tertiary care center.
Included 130 patients aged ≥18 years with hematemesis and/or melena.
Collected detailed clinical history including demographics, alcohol use, smoking status, and BMI.
Performed laboratory investigations like complete blood count and coagulation profile.
All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to determine the cause of bleeding.
Majority of patients were aged 31–50 years with a 70% male predominance.
60% of patients reported alcohol consumption and 50% were smokers.
Peptic ulcer disease was the leading cause of UGIB, with duodenal ulcers at 29.23% and gastric ulcers at 24.62%.
Esophageal varices were also commonly identified.
Laboratory findings indicated anemia and deranged coagulation parameters in many patients.
