Article Synopsis
- - Bilothorax is a rare but serious condition where bile accumulates in the pleural space, often linked to injuries in the biliary system or diaphragm.
- - A 70-year-old female with liver cirrhosis developed a pleural effusion after undergoing ERCP and biliary stenting, which persisted for 2 months without noticeable symptoms.
- - The patient underwent thoracentesis, revealing 435 mL of bilious fluid, confirming bilothorax, underscoring the need to consider this condition in similar patients.
Background And Aim: Evidence on the impact of frailty in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleed (UGIB) is limited. This study aims to define the role of frailty as defined by Canadian Study of Health and Aging clinical frailty scale (CSHA-CFS) in predicting mortality in UGIB.
Methods: A prospective single-center cohort study was conducted over 21 months on all consecutive patients with UGIB.
