View through CrossRef
Rectal bleeding is a common symptom, affecting all age groups, with the highest incidence in the sixth and seventh decades and associated with a higher mortality and morbidity with increasing age. Epidemiological studies have shown rectal bleeding to occur in nearly 1% of hospital admissions. Bleeding stops spontaneously in 80% of cases, although rebleeding occurs in 25%. Common causes are haemorrhoids, diverticular disease, and colorectal cancer or polyps.
