Key messages.

* Gastrointestinal complications of treatment with
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a major
cause of morbidity and mortality

* Because there are no important differences in
efficacy, choice of first line treatment with these
drugs should be based on their relative toxicity

* Meta-analysis of the available epidemiological
studies shows wide differences between individual
drugs in the risk of inducing gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcer perforation

* Of the drugs in common use, ibuprofen and
diclofenac rank low in toxicity whereas azapropazone, ketoprofen, and piroxicam rank high

* Some of the differences between drugs may be
explained by dose, and the advantage of "low risk"
drugs may be lost once their dose is increased
