Lesiones gastrointestinales y características de las hemorragias digestivas agudas en los pacientes anticoagulados con acenocumarol

We found an incidence of 20 severe GI bleeding episodes in anticoagulated patients per 100,000 inhabitants-year, with no difference in localization or in the frequency of causative lesions depending on the intensity of anticoagulation. Patients receiving more intense anticoagulation had more severe GI bleeding episodes.
