Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of patients with oral bleeding. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients with oral bleeding in the Department of Oral Emergency in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2019 to December 2022. The distribution of the patients ' gender, age, cause of bleeding, systemic condition, treatment methods and risk factors of hemostasis methods, and number of visits were analyzed. Results: A total of 4 764 patients with oral bleeding were enrolled, including 2 660 males (55.84%) and 2 104 females (44.16%), with an average age of 40.7 years. The most common causes of oral bleeding were bleeding after tooth extraction (3 080 cases, 64.65%), followed by gingival bleeding (1 386 cases, 29.09%), bleeding after outpatient surgery (194 cases, 4.07%), maxillofacial mass bleeding (33 cases, 0.69%), postoperative bleeding of inpatient (24 cases, 0.50%), and bleeding from other causes (47 cases, 0.99%). Simple hemostatic methods were applied in 1 867 cases (39.19%) while 2 897 cases (60.81%) used complex methods, among which iodine strip tamponade and suture were the most commonly used methods of hemostasis. Logistic regression analysis showed that the male patients had a higher proportion of complex methods than the female patients; gingival bleeding were often stopped by simple hemostatic methods while complex methods were more likely to be applied in the patients with bleeding after tooth extraction. The patients with hypertension and coagulation disorders were more likely to visit the hospital for repeated bleeding. Gender and age did not affect the number of visits. Conclusion: Oral bleeding was one of the common diseases in oral emergency. The common causes were bleeding after tooth extraction and gingival bleeding. Most patients could be treated by compression, local suture and packing of iodine strips while some cases with severe bleeding needed further treatment to stop bleeding. A minority of patients with oral bleeding could induce systemic complications, which should be paid full attention by clinicians.
