  • Title: Upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly.
    Author: Reinus JF, Brandt LJ.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 1990 Jun; 19(2):293-318. PubMed ID: 2194947.
    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly is a common problem with numerous and varied causes. Its diagnosis and treatment require a careful, systematic approach by physicians with special expertise. Under the proper circumstances, elderly patients with upper or lower gastrointestinal bleeding do well even when surgery is required, and an individual's age, by itself, should not preclude aggressive medical care.
