Overview
The most common risk factor of epistaxis in trauma. Other risk factors include coagulopathies, infections and vascular abnormalities. It can occur spontaneous either. Childhood and senility are unchangeable risk factors.
Risk Factors
- Trauma is the most common risk factor of epistaxis. Childhood and senility are unchangeable risk factors. Other risk factors are:[1]
- Vascular abnormalities[2] [3]
- Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
- Congestive hearth failure
- Granulomatosis with polyangitis
- Infections
- Coagulopathies:
- Hypertension may be associated with epistaxis. A study has shown that incidence rates for epistaxis were significantly higher in the hypertensive patients and they required posterior nasal packing more often than control (1.9% vs. 0.4%).[4]
