Risk factors for major gastrointestinal bleeding in septic patients: a multicenter retrospective study
Although MGB occurred in only 2.0% of septic patients, it was associated with substantially higher mortality. Older age, renal dysfunction, elevated BUN and gastrointestinal sources were key drivers of risk, while urinary tract infection was associated with a lower risk. These findings underscore the importance of early risk stratification and targeted preventive strategies in high-risk patients to mitigate bleeding events and improve survival.
