Coffee was the most frequent of the toxic habits, followed by alcohol. Among the drugs taken by the patients, aspirin represented 17,1 % of the cases.

Endoscopy and radiology (40 %) associated with endoscopy were the most frequent methods used for diagnosing. Likewise, high digestive bleeding was the commonest complications (28,6 %)
