Aim. To determine the hospitalization patterns in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in Kemerovo.Materials and Methods. We analyzed the amount and structure of hospitalizations due to peptic ulcer disease, Mallory-Weiss syndrome, erosive gastritis, and liver cirrhosis in Kemerovo between 1997 and 2017. We compared two seven-year periods (2000-2006 and 2011-2017) or two decades (1997-2006 and 2007-2016). Results. Gastric/duodenal ulcers, Mallory-Weiss syndrome, erosive gastritis, and esophageal bleeding accounted for 64.5%, 18.9%, 9.7%, and 6.9% of hospitalizations, respectively. Time periods did not differ significantly in both number and prevalence of hospitalizations due to any of abovementioned disorders. However, the number of hospitalizations related to bleeding esoph-ageal/gastric varices and portal hypertension in-creased significantly (almost 2-fold for portal hypertension). Conclusions. Over the past 20 years, there has been no change in the average annual number of patients with bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers, Mallory-Weiss syndrome, and erosive gastritis. However, the number of hospitalizations due to a portal hypertension demonstrated an unacceptably high increase.
