RESUMO
Objective To investigate related factors of gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly advanced cancer hospice inpatients , in order to facilitate better control. Methods A retrospective investigation of the clinical data of the elderly advanced cancer hospice inpatients was done , 85 cases with gastrointestinal bleeding (experimentalgroup) were compared with 294 cases with non-gastrointestinal bleeding cases (control group). Results Multivariate logistic stepwise regression analysis showed:HP infection [odds ratios (OR) = 3.241,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.792~5.863], non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (OR=3.080,95%CI 1.725~5.497), long-term heart and lung disease (OR=2.323,95%CI 1.315~4.105), stress (OR=1.858,95%CI 1.054 ~ 3.274), albumin (OR =0.760,95%CI 0.679~0.851), enteral nutrition (OR=0.499,95%CI 0.679~0.851) on gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly advanced cancer hospice inpatients were significant (P<0.05). Conclusions We should strengthen the surveillance of elderly advanced cancer hospice inpatients with gastrointestinal bleeding , to improve the quality of life,and according to the risk factors,the early diagnosis and treatment must be regarded.
