Abstract：
:BACKGROUND Abdominal bleeding is a severe complication of duodenal fistula, but few studies have focused on this problem. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for intra-abdominal bleeding in patients with external duodenal fistula. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2014 to December 2016, medical records of 97 patients with external duodenal fistula were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. The prevalence and risk factors for intra-abdominal bleeding were evaluated. RESULTS The prevalence of abdominal bleeding in patients with external duodenal fistula was 31.9% (95%CI: 22.5-41.4%). A total of 31 patients had intra-abdominal bleeding. Results revealed that acute kidney failure (OR: 8.462, 95% CI: 1.921-37.28, p=0.005) and retroperitoneal infection (OR: 5.373, 95% CI: 1.504-19.197, p=0.010) were associated with abdominal bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of abdominal bleeding in patients with external duodenal fistula was 31.9%, and acute kidney failure and retroperitoneal infection were found to be risk factors for intra-abdominal bleeding.
