The large majority of peptic ulcerations that are not associated with H. pylori infection are associated with NSAID ingestion. Peptic ulceration
with NSAIDs typically causes no symptoms, but NSAID – induced ulcers can be symptomatic and complicated by GI bleeding,
perforation and/or obstruction. Asymptomatic ulcerations can be documented endoscopically in 15 % to 45 % of patients on chronic
NSAID therapy.
