title: [Incidence of in-hospital upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage post percutaneous coronary interventions in the drug eluting stent era: a single center experience].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the incidence and the predictors of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage (UGH) in patients underwent percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
  
  
  METHODS
  UGH occurred in 21 out of 2279 PCI patients (0.92%). The clinical characteristics, procedural and prognostic status of all UGH patients were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The incidence of UGH was significantly higher in patients aged more than 70 years, female, diabetes mellitus, peptic ulcer history, admission with ACS than patients without above factors. Platelet glucoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist use during the procedure and primary PCI also contributed to the development of UGH. Hospitalization time was significantly longer in patients with UGH compared with patients without UGH (13.8 versus 5.1 days, P < 0.001). The total MACCEs including myocardial infarction, TVR and death rate in patients with UGH were higher than that in patients without UGH (23.0% versus 9.3%, P < 0.01). Stepdown multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age more than 70 years (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.01 - 4.13, P < 0.01), admission with acute coronary syndrome (OR 1.91, 95% CI 0.57 - 2.52, P < 0.05) and history of peptic ulcer (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.17 - 2.25, P < 0.05) were the predictors of in-hospital UGH post PCI.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Age more than 70 years, admission with ACS and peptic ulcer history were closely related to the development of in-hospital UGH post PCI and hospitalization was prolonged in UGH patients.
