| Abstract | Background & Objectives: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a medical emergency. Patients over 60 years constitute about 30%-40% of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Traditionally, bleeding in elderly, compared to younger patients, has been accompanied by high mortality and need for more surgery. In recent years, new insights to management of gastrointestinal bleeding with use of proton pump inhibitors and I.C.U ward admission has been emerged. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these new strategies in the natural course of bleeding in patients over and under the age 60. | en |
