Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between antithrombotic (AT) therapy and outcomes for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) in a hospital setting.
- It found that prior AT treatment did not lead to worse in-hospital outcomes, but the occurrence of haemorrhagic shock significantly worsened survival chances.
- After a bleeding event, about 73.8% of patients were able to safely restart their AT therapy, with higher mortality after six months linked to older age, comorbidities, liver cirrhosis, and a history of cancer.
