Overview
The most potent risk factors in the development of Mallory-Weiss syndrome are Alcohol use and Hiatal hernia. The less potent risk factor in the development of Mallory-Weiss syndrome is age.
Risk Factors
The most potent risk factors in the development of Mallory-Weiss syndrome are:
- Alcohol use: 40% to 80% of patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome has a history of heavy alcohol use which lead to vomiting.[1][2][3][4][5]
- Age: Mallory-Weiss syndrome is suggested to be associated with increased age.[6] However, most tears happen in patients younger than 40, which suggests that age doesn't have a major role. Mallory-Weiss syndrome was also reported in infants. [7]
- Hiatal hernia: It is still unclear if it is a risk factor or not. It is reported in 40% to 80% of patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome but big case-control study found no big difference in prevalence of hiatal
hernia between patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome and controls.[2][8]
