Abstract

Despite advancements in endoscopic technology and drug therapy, the high mortality and rebleeding rates associated with hemorrhagic peptic ulcers remain a concern. Although further research is needed to validate contributing factors, I recommend use of the Rockall score to predict the rebleeding risk in patients with peptic ulcers. Greater caution should be exercised, particularly in hospitalized patients, those who have undergone pancreatic surgery, and those with bleeding due to Dieulafoy's lesions. Delaying resumption of an oral diet for at least 24 hours after endoscopic bleeding control is also advisable.
