Results: Of all patients, 13 patients (19.7%) had substance abuse and all of them were male. Of all 13 patients with substance abuse, 9 (69.2%) had opium use.
Conclusions: The results showed that substance abuse among patients with peptic ulcer perforation, can be consider as a possible risk factor for peptic ulcer perforation, but more studies should perform to identify the effective factors and variables that can be main role in peptic ulcer perforation in patients.
