High Digestive Bleeding (SDA) is a frequent medical emergency that is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. This research was carried out with the objective of describing the behavior of the risk factors associated with the development of upper digestive bleeding, through an observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study, with 40 patients who presented (SDA), treated at the ¨Carlos Hospital Manuel de Céspedes¨ from Bayamo, Granma, in the period between January 2017 and January 2018. In the study, male sex and patients between 61-80 years of age predominated. Most were consumers of sedative medications. The most frequent cause of bleeding was gastritis, followed by gastroduodenal ulcer. The most common form of clinical presentation was the mane. SDA is more common in males and in elderly patients. Among its main forms of presentation is the mane and hematemesis. Coffee consumption can cause the triggering of this pathology.
