The role of urgent colonoscopy in lower GI bleeding (LGIB) remains controversial. Population-based studies on LGIB outcomes are lacking. To investigate the impact of the timing of colonoscopy on outcomes of patients with LGIB. Cross-sectional study. Nationwide Inpatient Sample2010. International Cla...
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...

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 ...
Objective: Patients on anticoagulation therapy who develop gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality. Although fresh frozen plasma is often used to reverse warfarin in patients with GI bleeds, little is know regarding outcomes of patients taking clopridogrel ...
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 ...
Conclusions: DL are not uncommon in patients with upper GI bleeding. 9% were in the colon. There was a trend toward a higher Rockall score in patients on combination ASA/NSAID, suggesting a possible temporal relationship. Endoscopic therapy was generally very successful, perhaps because it was ...
Background and Aims: The Rockall risk score uses endoscopic and clinical criteria to risk stratify patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, who account for a large amount of hospital admissions and health care expenditures. The aims of this study were to assess the applicability of this scoring ...
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 ...
