Abstract

Background: Peptic ulcer disease is an erosion of the lining of the stomach or duodenum. It is associated with potentially life-threatening complications such as bleeding, perforation and obstruction. The main predisposing factors for peptic ulcer perforation are smoking, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), chronic stress, Helicobacter pylori infection, and age >60 years. In recent years, with introduction of proton pump inhibitors and increased knowledge of duodenal ulcer perforation (DUP) has decreased the incidence of DUP.

Methods: 50 patients with DUP were studied prospectively with respect to age, gender, use of NSAIDs, morbidity, mortality and complications.

Results: Out of 50 patients, the mean age of incidence DUP was 46 yrs, which is more common in males. And also 48% patients were chronic alcoholic and 52% patients were chronic smokers. Moreover, 14% patients were chronic NSAIDs users.

Conclusions: Factors such as age, gender, use of NSAID, Alcohol and smoking affects the life expectancy of the patients, which leads to morbidity and mortality.
