摘要
Gastrointestinal bleeding affects a substantial number of elderly persons and is a common indication for hospitalization. The authors of this Review discuss trends in the epidemiology and outcome of gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients. Specific causes of upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding are also discussed, along with recommendations for an approach to endoscopic diagnosis and therapy.
