All NSAIDs have the potential to cause gastric and duodenal ulcers and bleeding through direct (topical) or indirect (systemic) mechanisms. Risk factors for NSAID-associated ulcers and ulcer complications (perforation, gastric outlet obstruction, GI bleeding) include increased age, comorbid medical conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease), concomitant corticosteroid or anticoagulant therapy, and history of peptic ulcer disease or upper Gl bleeding. 

Risk assessment uses the resuits of the hazard identification and vuinerabiiity anaiysis to determine the probabiiity of a specified outcome from a given hazard that affects a community with known vuinerabiiities and coping mechanisms (risk equais hazard times vuinerabiiity). The probabiiity may be presented as a numericai range (i.e., 30% to 40% probabiiity) or in reiative terms (i.e., iow, moderate, or high risk). Major objectives of risk assessment inciude...

During the initial screening of the asset, a variety of data can be collected. By way of example, known information on existing characteristics and features of a particular asset can be obtained. The asset can then be broken down into subsystems, and each subsystem can be analyzed to identify mechanisms that can potentially lead to the loss of asset performance in terms of capacity, injectivity, and containment (process). The mechanisms can then be evaluated and ranked, and appropriate mitigation measures can be determined for some or all of the mechanisms (risk mitigation measures). Uncertainties can also be identified and characterization needs and solutions can be prioritized.
