Resumen
Objetivos

La presencia de un patrón estacional en la incidencia de hemorragia digestiva alta (HDA) ha sido sugerida en numerosos trabajos, pero la implicación de factores climáticos aún no ha podido ser aclarada. Nuestro objetivo fue investigar el papel de estos factores en la incidencia de HAD secundaria a varices esofágicas (VE), úlcera gástrica (UG) y úlcera duodenal (UD).

Material y métodos

Se incluyeron de forma retrospectiva (1998-2001) los casos de hemorragia digestiva alta comprobada endoscópicamente y secundaria a VE, UG y UD, mediante el empleo del Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos al Alta y la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades. Se correlacionó su incidencia con los factores climáticos diarios (temperatura, presión atmosférica, humedad, dirección y velocidad del viento) presentes en nuestra ciudad durante el período de estudio.

Resultados

Se incluyeron 499 pacientes (UG, 192; UD, 199; VE, 108). No se constataron diferencias significativas en la incidencia mensual o estacional de la HDA. Los episodios de HDA fueron agrupados según las características climáticas presentes el día del ingreso. La correlación realizada entre los episodios de HDA y cada uno de los factores climáticos diarios estudiados no puso de manifiesto una asociación estadísticamente significativa.

Discusión

Nuestro trabajo no apoya la existencia de un determinado patrón estacional en la incidencia de HDA secundaria a úlceras gastroduodenales o varices esofágicas y nos permite afirmar que, en nuestra área geográfica, los factores climáticos no están implicados en modo alguno con la aparición de los episodios de sangrado.

Objectives

Several studies have suggested the existence of seasonal variation in the incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB). However, the role of climatic factors has not been elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of these factors in the incidence of UGB secondary to esophageal varices (EV), gastric ulcer (GU), and duodenal ulcer (DU).

Material and methods

Based on the use of the Minimum Data Set and the International Classification of Diseases, cases of endoscopically-confirmed UGB secondary to EV, GU and DU were retrospectively included (1998-2001). The incidence of UGB was correlated with daily climatic factors (temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, direction and speed of wind) in Jerez de la Frontera (Spain) during the study period.

Results

A total of 499 patients were included (GU=192, DU=199, EV=108). No significant differences were found in the monthly or seasonal incidence of UGB. Episodes of UGB were grouped according to the climatic conditions present on the day of admission. No significant relationship was found between UGB and any of the daily climatic factors studied.

Discussion

The results of our study do not support the existence of a seasonal pattern in the incidence of UGB secondary to GU, DU or EV and allow us to conclude that, in our geographical area, these factors are not involved in episodes of bleeding
