Michael's Hospital with GI bleeding Sept 1 to Nov 30, 2005 were identified by ICD-10 codes. Risk factors, risk indicies, health resource use and therapies were recorded and evaluated as potential predictors of patient outcomes. Rockall score (0-2: Low Risk; 3-4: Intermediate Risk; ≥5: ...
In the setting of GI bleeding, the stomach is often filled with blood and blood clots. People coming in with food bolus impactions and with a considerable amount of food in their stomachs have undergone emergency endoscopy without a high incidence of aspiration. Vomiting and regurgitations are e...
5) Active bleeding 55% Case #13 Case #13 • 53 yo female has diarrhea, weight loss, and dyspepsia. A serum gastrin test result is HIGH & H Pylori is neg. EGD reveals duodenal ulcerations in D2/D3. Gastric pH = 2. The next ...
OC-141Upper GI bleeding in Scotland 2000–2010: improving outcome but a significant weekend effectIntroduction Recent studies have suggested a reduction in incidence of upper GI haemorrhage (UGIH) and a possible worse outcome if patients present at weekends. Our aim was to assess trends in ...
Background: Current evidence suggests that pre-endoscopy treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduces the length of hospital stay and may reduce re-bleeding, upper gastrointestinal surgery, and mortality in patients admitted with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). However, little is...
The present study aimed to identify the current management patterns of NVUGIB in 21 Canadian hospitals to determine the adherence to guidelines published in 2003.Patients admitted for NVUGIB between January 2004 and May 2005 were identified using ICD-9/10 codes. Consecutive patient charts were ...
Methods: UDL and non-Dieulafoy upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) were identified from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample and Nationwide Readmission Database using ICD-10-CM and PCS codes. Multivariate logistic (binary) and linear (continuous) regressions were used to model dependent variables. Results...

Introduction: Dieulafoy lesions (DL) are an often overlooked cause of GI bleeding that can happen anywhere in the GI tract. Endoscopic therapy for DL is standard of care, with primary hemostasis rates reportedly similar to ulcer disease. We hypothesized that DL exhibit a unique epidemiology and ...
An endoscopy-based risk score was compared with two clinically based risk scores in a large cohort of patients hospitalized for treatment of acute upper-GI hemorrhage to quantify the incremental value of endoscopy in the identification of low-risk bleeding. ICD-9-CMcodes for discharge diagnosis ...
