Abstract

Risk stratification tools for the prediction of complications in patients with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage are crucial for appropriate management. Blood group status has been associated with the risk of bleeding, thrombosis and risk of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). We assessed the influence of blood group status on rebleeding and other complications in 699 patients with PUD bleeding. Blood group B was associated with reduced risk in the composite outcome of rebleeding, need for surgery or embolisation and mortality (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.04–0.63, p = 0.009). Blood group B was protective against rebleeding compared to non‐blood group B (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.05–0.84, p = 0.028). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
