Changes of gastric ulcer bleeding in the metropolitan area of Japan

BACKGROUND: infection has fallen over the last decade and the number of prescriptions for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antithrombotic drugs is increasing as the population ages. Methods of treatment for gastric ulcer bleeding have advanced with the advent of hemostatic forceps and potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB). Thus, causes and treatments for gastric ulcer bleeding have changed over the last decade. AIM: To examine the trends of gastric ulcer bleeding over 10 years in the metropolitan area of Japan. METHODS: infection. The rate of rebleeding during the latter half of the study was significantly lower than that in the first half. CONCLUSION: induced ulcers were more common in younger patients, were observed.
