There are four major complications of peptic ulcer disease (PUD): bleeding, perforation, penetration, and obstruction. Complications can occur in patients with peptic ulcer of any etiology. Despite improvements in the medical management and the lower overall incidence of PUD, there are conflicting data about the incidence of potentially life-threatening ulcer complications. There are important time trends embedded within this stable overall rate of complications: the dramatic decline in the…

TLDR
It is noted that post operative pulmonary complications and wound infection are more in the alcoholics and smokers, and the incidence of perforation is more in middle aged males.
Peptic Ulcers and their Complications
TLDR
The prognosis for recovery from peptic ulcer disease is good as most patients will respond to treatment, and an increasing number of children with PUD without evidence of H. Pylori infection are now being seen.
Peptic ulcer complications requiring surgery: what has changed in the last 50 years in Turkey.
TLDR
The aim of this study is to determine the time trends in complicated peptic ulcer disease and to state the effects of H2 receptor blockers, proton pump inhibitors (PPI), and H. pylori eradication therapies on these complications.
CASE REPORT- RECURRENT DUODENAL ULCER PERFORATION
TLDR
A case of a 70 year old man, who presented with recurrent episodes of duodenal perforation in an interval of 2 years is discussed, which is a surgeon's dilemma and has to be managed to each presentation.
Prognostic factors in peptic ulcer perforations: a retrospective 14-year study.
TLDR
Age, ASA score, and having comorbid disease were found to have an effect on both mortality and morbidity, and the duration of symptoms had no effect on mortality nor morbidity in the present study.

Duration of Survival after Peptic Ulcer Perforation
TLDR
Long-term prognosis of peptic ulcer perforation is poor, and risk factors for late mortality are age, severe concomitant diseases, and postinterventional complications.
Peptic ulcer perforation before and after the introduction of H2-receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors.
TLDR

Risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with use of low-dose aspirin
TLDR
The findings from this observational study raise the possibility that prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin may convey an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, which may offset some of its benefits.
