[Incidence and risk factors of rebleeding from gastric and duodenal ulcers].
We present the analysis of risk factors of recurrence of bleeding in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers. The group consisted of 178 patients hospitalized between 1998-2002. Among them there were 76 patients with gastric ulcers and 102 patients with duodenal ulcers. The recurrence of bleeding was observed in 24.3% patients with gastric ulcer and 21.8% of patients with duodenal ulcer. The most important risk factors were: localization of ulcers, intensity of bleeding according to Forrest scale, presence of concomitant diseases, shock on admission and H. pylori infection. 26.3% of patient with gastric ulcer and 36.4% with duodenal ulcer needed emergency operation. The mortality rate among patients with gastric ulcer was 15.6% and with duodenal ulcer 13.6%.
