The classification of chronical bleeding gastroduodenal ulcer in elderly and senile patients, considering the blood loss severity and concurrent pathology, was proposed. The tactics of treatment--conservative, operative, or actively-waiting one--was determined according to the classification adduced. The proposed classification application and the tactics of treatment also have permitted to reduce mortality from 15.7 to 11.2%.
