Case description

Gastrointestinal bleeding in such elderly people can originate from lesions common to all age-groups or from lesions associated specifically with aging. In elderly people, morbidity and mortality from gastrointestinal bleeding is determined by both the nature of the bleeding lesion and the presence of comorbid medical conditions. The incidence and outcome of gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly people can also be influenced by the use of aspirin and other antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents.
