Peptic Ulcer

Combined Gastric and Duodenal Ulceration

“…According to Balfour (1932) about 25% of peptic ulcer patients followed for an average of 10 years will show one or more episodes of bleeding. Emery and Monroe (1935) found an incidence of 26.7% in patients observed for an average of 3.5 years. Gastric ulcers are thought to bleed more often than duodenal ulcers (Ivy, Grossman, and Bachrach, 1950).…”

Percentage of Weight Loss as a Predictor of Surgical Risk: From the Time of Hiram Studley to Today

“…Several preceding studies concerning the peptic ulcer disease population had already established a connection between postoperative mortality and severity of preoperative illness as witnessed by gastric retention, hypersecretion, vomiting, pain, and fatigue. [2][3][4] Dr Studley took this a step further by concluding that the percentage of preoperative weight loss reflects the severity of preoperative disease to thereby function as an easily apparent indicator of operative risk.…”
