Absence of abdominal pain in elderly patients with peptic ulcer.

Abstract

The presentation of peptic ulcer in 132 elderly patients is compared with that in 67 younger patients. Abdominal pain was not present in one third of the elderly group. Absence of pain was associated with the older age group to a highly significant degree (P less than 0.001).
