Stress Ulcers
• Pathophysiology
Assessment of Appropriate Use of
Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis in Acute
Medically Ill Patients

– Acute superficial inflammatory lesions of the
gastric lining
– Impaired gastric mucosal protection from poor
perfusion caused by intense physiologic
stress
• Complication
– Overt GI bleeding
• Stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP)
The speaker has no actual or potential conflicts of interest in relation to this presentation.
Overuse of Acid Suppressing Drugs
in Non-ICU
• Qadeer et al. (n=17,707) patients admitted to
general medicine service
– Incidence of hospital-acquired GI bleeding  0.4%
– No protective benefit seen with prophylactic use
• Stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) not routinely
indicated in this population
• Acid suppression therapy in non-ICU patients
measured to be up to 70%
– PPI, H2 blocker, Sucralfate
Anderson ME. Hosp Med Clin 2013:e32-e44
Consequences of Overuse for Inpatients
Inappropriate
continuation
on hospital
discharge
Unnecessary costs
• Heidelbaugh et al. (n=1870 general medicine
patients) – inappropriate SUP use increased
annual inpatient and outpatient costs $111,791

• SUP is overused in acute medically ill
patients
• Revising SUP guidelines will lead to more
appropriate prescribing of SUP during
hospital stay and at patient discharge

QID
H2 blockers have been shown to have similar rates of prevention of upper GI bleed,
pneumonia, C.difficile infection, and length of stay in ICU when compared to protonpump inhibitors
• Emailed medical staffs revised SUP guidelines
• Guidelines posted on pharmacy website and all
DMC computer screensavers
• Provided education to physicians and
pharmacists at scheduled didactic conferences
Revised guidelines

Analysis of SUP
- Adult (18+ years)
- Received SUP agents during inpatient admissions
Exclusion
- Admission to the ICU
- Active or suspected acute GI bleeding
- History of GERD, peptic ulcer disease, or erosive
esophagitis
- Acid suppressive therapy at home
October – November 2014

Endpoints
Statistical Analysis
Primary
• Descriptive statistics
• Chi-squared analysis or Fisher’s exact test
for parametric data
• P < 0.05 for statistical significance
- The proportion of patients who received SUP that
met the criteria for SUP use
Secondary
- The proportion of patients that received
discharge orders for SUP
- The proportion of patients that had adverse
outcomes related to SUP medications

Conclusions
• Inappropriate use of SUP remains common in
hospital practice
• At least 8% were discharged home on SUP
without an acceptable indication
• Need to promote appropriate use of SUP and
decrease unnecessary use of SUP
Study Limitations
• Small sample size
• Retrospective chart review
• Barrier to education
– Reaching out to all providers
– Brief education session

Future plans
• Medication reconciliation
• About 70% of patients were using SUP prior to
admission
• Interventions to improve prescribing
patterns
• Educational materials
• Pharmacist participation on rounds
• Revise protocol
