HERNANDEZ-JERONIMO, Julia M. et al. Endoscopic findings in patients with upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding in second-level hospital. Endoscopia [online]. 2022, vol.34, n.3, pp.70-73. Epub 08-Maio-2023. ISSN 2444-6483. https://doi.org/10.24875/end.23000002.
Introduction:
Gastrointestinal bleeding is blood loss that originates in the digestive tract.
Objective:
To describe the endoscopic findings in patients evaluated for upper (UGIB) and lower (LGIB) gastrointestinal bleeding that was performed in a second-level care hospital of the ISSSTE in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
Method:
For 3.5 years, 4285 esophagogastroduodenoscopies and colonoscopies were performed.
Results:
The results of 778 requests are as follows: 74.5% were diagnosed with UGIB and 25.5% with LGIB. The most frequent causes of non-variceal UGIB are peptic ulcer (19%) and erosive gastropathy (15%), and for the variceal UGIB were esophageal varices (23%) and hypertensive gastropathy (13%). In the case of LGIB, the most common causes were hemorrhoids (53.5%) and diverticula (18.5%).
Conclusions:
According to the findings observed in patients evaluated endoscopically, the most common causes for UGIB were peptic ulcer, erosive gastropathy, and esophageal varices; while for patients diagnosed with LGIB, they were hemorrhoids and colonic diverticula.
