NSAID use contributed to bleeding ulcers in 28.4% of patients; thus, low-dose aspirin or on-demand NSAID use may cause bleeding ulcers. There were only two (1.7%) confirmed cases of H. pylori-negative, non-NSAID ulcers.

This study indicates that the causes of bleeding ulcers are changing, and the increasing use of low-dose aspirin might become a major cause of bleeding ulcers.

Application of hemoclips was effective for bleeding MWT during endoscopic procedures, which warranted prophylactic application of hemoclips on MWT during endoscopic examination.
