Active clinical trials for "Peptic Ulcer Hemorrhage"

The purpose of this study is to investigate if a computerised decision-support tool used in general practice, can reduce the frequency of peptic ulcer bleeding related to the use of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal-antiinflammatory-drug) and ASA( Acetylsalicylic acid) . On the basis of "The Danish general medical database" it is possible to develope a computerised decision-support tool, which enables the general practitioner (GP) in a "pop-up" window to get information on each patients risk-factors, when prescribing NSAID and aspirin to a patient at risk. This will give the general practitioner the oppurtunity to choose a different type of preparation or prescribe ulcer-preventive medicine at the same time. The decision-support tool will be tested in a randomized trial among general practitioners. The aim is to reduce the occurence of peptic ulcer bleeding. The expected outcome is a reduction in half of the total numbers of peptic ulcers.

This project aims to evaluate the data on all patients undergoing endoscopic therapy for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

The purpose of the investigators study is to investigate the factors associated with rebleeding in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding.

This will be a multicenter prospective observational study carried out in China. The investigators will collect data in a pre-specified Case Report Form. Main data from each patient will include demographics, endoscopy classification, and both endoscopy and pharmacological treatments received by patients. Data from each patient will be prospectively collected from the day the patient is diagnosed as peptic ulcer bleeding by endoscopy and receives endoscopy treatment if the investigator thinks it is needed and up to 30 days afterwards. The proportion of peptic ulcer bleeding patients who are at high risk is the primary outcome variable. High risk is defined as the patients with endoscopy Forrest classification Ia to IIb. The rate and type of endoscopic treatment, the rate of successful endoscopy treatment, the re-bleeding rate and the endoscopic re-treatment rate in high risk peptic ulcer bleeding patients will be collected. The surgery rate and mortality rate in high risk and overall patient population will be calculated.

The aim of this study is to study the natural history of the ulcer healing while on proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and the ulcer recurrence without acid suppression therapy of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), non-Helicobacter pylori (HP) bleeding ulcer patients.

To investigate the adjunctive role of "Capsule Endoscope" in continuous endoscopic monitoring and early detection of recurrent ulcer bleeding after endoscopic therapy in patients presenting with bleeding peptic ulcers
