Endoscopic Findings in low-dose Aspirin Consumers with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

ABSTRACT

Background: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding [UGIB] is an important complication of low-dose aspirin. There are few and conflicting results about the etiology of UGIB in relation to low-dose aspirin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy of patients taking low-dose aspirin who developed UGIB.
