title: Epistaxis. Examination of hospitalized patients.
abstract: Thirty-nine patients with epistaxis requiring hospitalization have been examined. Their average age was 57 years, and a relationship was found between hypertension and epistaxis in in-patients, in contrast to out-patients. Other possible general reasons for nose-bleeding have been discussed and, from studies of blood and bleeding, it would appear that it is only the haemoglobin which requires routine control.
