Clinical practice guidelines: management of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Manual. Health Technology Assessment Unit, Putrajaya, Malaysia. (2003)
Abstract
Upper gastrointesinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common medical emergency associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage accounts for about 2500 hospital admissions each year in the United Kingdom (2). The annual incidence varies from 47 to 116 (approximately 100) per 100 000 of the population and is higher in socioeconomically deprived areas (3). The incidence is approximately 72 per 100 000 in Malaysia (4.5 ). Bleeding peptic ulcer remains the most common cause of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. 80% of such bleeds stop spontaneously.
