Improved outcomes in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding while undergoing antithrombotic therapy: A propensity score matching analysis.

Background: This study sought to examine the effect of antithrombotic use on clinical outcomes in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Methods: Patients consecutively diagnosed with non-variceal UGIB between February 2019 and September 2020 were divided into two groups based on their antithrombotic use: users and non-users. Using propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable regression analyses, the impact of antithrombotic use prior to UGIB presentation on clinical outcomes was examined.

Three Simple Parameters on Admission to the Emergency Department are Predictors for Endoscopic Intervention in Patients with Suspected Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

Background: A considerable number of patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) need endoscopic intervention.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine factors that predict the need for endoscopic intervention at the time of admission to the emergency department.

Methods: Consecutive patients with International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision diagnosis code K92.
