Predictors of Rebleeding in Upper XXXX .

@entity1 @entity8 @entity75 @entity344 @entity281 @entity360
BACKGROUND/AIMS: @entity75 ( @entity75 ) are a rare but significant cause of @entity360 . We aimed to define the clinical significance of rebleeding and identify the predictors of rebleeding and mortality in upper @entity344 (UGIDLs). METHODS: @entity1 diagnosed with UGIDLs between January 2004 and June 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to define the predictors of rebleeding and mortality in @entity1 with UGIDLs. RESULTS: The study group consisted of 81 male and 36 female @entity1 . Primary hemostasis was achieved in 115 out of 117 @entity1 (98.3%) with various endoscopic therapies. Rebleeding occurred in 10 @entity1 (8.5%). The mortality rate was significantly higher in @entity1 with rebleeding than in those without rebleeding (30.0% vs. 4.7%, p=0.020). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that @entity8 (p=0.006) and @entity281 (p=0.005) were significant predictors of rebleeding in UGIDLs and that @entity8 (p=0.004) and platelet count (p=0.013) were significant predictors of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Rebleeding has an important prognostic significance in @entity1 with UGIDLs. @entity8 and @entity281 are major predictors of rebleeding and mortality in @entity1 with UGIDLs.
