Risk Factors for Adverse Outcomes in the Elderly Inpatients with Gastrointestinal Bleeding
2021
Objective To explore the factors affecting the adverse prognosis of elderly inpatients with gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of elderly patients aged 60 and over admitted with GIB to the Department of Gastroenterology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between January 2016 and January 2021. The adverse outcome was defined as admission to the intensive care unit and/or in-hospital death during the patient's stay at the hospital. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to identify the risk factors associated with the adverse outcome of the elderly. Results A total of 885 elderly patients (median age: 72.00 years, 517 males and 368 females) with GIB were enrolled, including 436 cases of upper GIB (UGIB) and 449 cases of lower GIB (LGIB). The overall rate of adverse outcome was 13.22% (117/885), which was significantly higher in the UGIB patients than that in the LGIB patients ( P 1 ( P 1 on admission ( P=0.001), higher INR on admission ( P=0.015) and FFP transfusion during hospitalization ( P 1.5 on admission significantly increased the risks of adverse outcome ( P 1, INR>1.5 on admission and FFP transfusion were considered independent risk factors for the adverse outcome of elderly inpatients with GIB.
