A study of 390 patients admitted far gastroduodenal bleeding indicates that these bleedings developed more frequently in young subjects in January, October and September. An analysis of the seasonal dependence of complications on the duration of the disease revealed a tendency of prevalence in the autumn period of patients with a prolonged anamnesis. Data of the study confirm the seasonal character of ulcer disease complications as well as the development of acute gastroduodenal bleedings.
