Although several risk factors for lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) have been identified, few studies have analyzed predictive variables for the detection of active bleeding in computed tomography angiography (CTA). This information could avoid the risks associated with unnecessary CTA.
The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the predictive capacity of several clinical and blood test variables for the detection of active bleeding in CTA performed in patients with LGIB. The secondary objective was to analyze the factors associated to the type of active bleeding (arterial or venous).
