METHOD FOR PREDICTING CHRONIC GASTRODUODENAL ULCER BLEEDING RECURRENCE RISK Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out clinical and endoscopic examination of a patient with risk factors being evaluated in points and sum of points being calculated. The sum being equal to or greater than 0, bleeding recurrence risk exists. The sum being less than 0, no bleeding recurrence risk is predicted. Sex, age, liver and pancreas disease availability or absence, hypertension availability or absence, non-steroid anti-inflammatory means and/or anticoagulants, and/or antiaggregants consumption within the last month period, disease duration, frequency of ulcer disease exacerbations, time lost from the hemorrhage beginning to the moment the patient is admitted in hospital, availability of hemorrhagic shock sings in prehospital period, pain syndrome localization characteristics, Alhover index value, general blood circulation deficiency degree, blood hemoglobin content, packed cell volume value, blood group, ulcer defect localization, ulcer defect diameter, ulcer defect depth and ulcer bottom changes nature are taken as the risk factors. Points are assigned separately in the cases of chronic gastric ulcers and chronic duodenal ulcers.

EFFECT: high risk prognosis accuracy.
