title: Hemorrhagic erosive gastritis.  A clinical study.
abstract: Four hundred consecutive patients, in a representative Southern California population, hospitalized for upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, had endoscopic examinations performed within 24 hours of arrival in the emergency room.  Seventy-four (18.5 percent) of these were found to have the typical lesions of acute hemorrhagic erosive gastritis.  The clinical spectrum of this group is examined and a comparison made with a Veterans Hospital population reported previously.
