Abstract: This study determines the predictors of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds induced by NSAIDs and their relation to length of hospital stay and total charges. A descriptive analysis showed the highest incidence as non-Hispanic White, older adult patients with variation in household income. Risk factors include Helicobacter pylori, alcohol, and smoking. The overall prediction of study outcomes showed associations between independent and dependent variables such as age, race, and gender, in relation to length of hospital stay and total charges. A high influence was detected with interaction of predictors such as health and socio-demographic characteristics, like advanced age, gender, race, and smoking.

Keywords: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; NSAID; gastrointestinal bleed; NSAID induced; GI bleed; hospitalisation discharges.
