The main objective of this work was to update the data on the epidemiological, clinical, etiological and prognostic aspects of these acute upper digestive hemorrhages. It was a prospective study for a period of 11 months (from March 2013 to January 2014) at the digestive endoscopy center of Gabriel Touré University Hospital in Bamako. At the end of this study, 63 patients had acute upper digestive bleeding (AUDB) among 954 hospitalized patients, that is to say a frequency of 6.7%. The sex ratio was 3.5. The average age of our patients was 45 ± 16.57 years with extremes of 15 and 84 years. A notion of smoking, epigastralgia and none steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were more reported in the history with respectively 14 patients (22.3%), 10 patients (15.9%) and 4 patients (6.3%), but haematemesis had occurred in 24 (38.1%) patients without any antecedent. The main causes of hemorrhage were rupture of oesophageal varices in 34 (57.6%) patients and peptic ulcers in 18 (30.5%) patients. Early recurrence occurred in 7 (11.1%) patients resulting in the death of 5 patients for an overall mortality of 9 patients among 63 (14.3%). Acute high digestive hemorrhages are always serious. The correct management of the hemorrhagic episode by haemostatic gestures when available and the causes of haemorrhage improve the prognosis.
