A case cohort series of 5180 infants indicated that approximately 1.2% of healthy infants experienced upper GI bleeding that was brought to medical attention.1 Incidence is likely increased in populations of more acutely sick neonates, such as those in the intensive care unit; however, the exact incidence is unknown, as some may have a high prevalence of asymptomatic gastritis.2 In the pediatric intensive care population, studies have shown that patients who receive acid-blocking prophylaxis have a lower incidence of upper GI bleeding,3 but a similar study was not found in the neonatal intensive care population.
