Epistaxis is a common presenting symptom either emergency condition or ambulatory in Otorhinolaryngology, affecting people of all ages. A multicentric retrospective descriptive study of 380 patients who were hospitalized with epistaxis over a 3.8 year period was carried out. Data collected was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and illustrated using Microsoft Office/Word 2016. The current study showed that male adults after 60 years old are most affected by nasal bleeding. More than half of hospitalized patients have severe epistaxis at the time of hospitalization. However, further studies are necessary to be done in order to fully elucidate the epidemiology of nosebleeds requiring hospitalization.
