10 year risk for severe gastrointestinal bleed in %
For severe gastrointestinal (GI) bleed, no risk calculator exists. The following table gives you some guidance for your 10-year risk in % without taking aspirin. If you take anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen, diclofenac) regularly, the risk is 2-4 times higher (Hernández-Díaz S. BMC Med 2006, 4:22. http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/4/22):
