Abstract

Introduction The clinical presentations of epistaxis share a wide spectrum, ranging from minor, self-limiting bleeds to life-threatening hemorrhages, which often require immediate intervention. Our cross-sectional study was conducted to bridge that gap in this direction, focusing on the determination of possible risk factors associated with epistaxis, which undertakes a comprehensive analysis of 500 cases of it in a tertiary care centre in India. Materials and methods A total of 500 patients with epistaxis were analyzed for their risk factor association using SPSS software version 27 (IBM Inc., Armonk, New York). Results We observed the highest association of epistaxis with hypertension (42.8%), and we also found that males share a higher frequency (62.4%) of hypertension as compared to females. Conclusion We conclude by establishing that hypertension, nasal trauma, and anatomical anomalies such as deviated nasal septum (DNS) are the primary independent predictors for epistaxis and recommend targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies to reduce morbidity and recurrence.
