[The prognosis and prevention of the occurrence of acute ulcers and erosions of the stomach and duodenum in surgical patients]. 1999

V N Chernov, and I A Miziev, and B M Belik

Acute ulceration of the gastric and duodenal mucosa was found in 20.3% among 404 patients who died at the surgical department of the hospital. In 89.7% of the patients acute erosive-ulcerous lesions were localized in the gastric mucosa. In 39 patients (9.7%) acute ulcers of the stomach and duodenum complicated by bleedings or perforations were the direct cause of death. Based on results of an analysis of severity of the main and concomitant diseases as well as their complications the authors have determined the factors responsible for the appearance of the ulcers. A complex of prophylactic measures aimed at the main links of the pathogenesis of acute ulcers is proposed.
