Abstract:

Background: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is defined as hemorrhage that involves the mouth to the duodenum proximal to the ligament of Treitz. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a major public health problem, its prevalence being around 150 per 100,000 adults per year.

Keywords:

risk scoring system, upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding, upper endoscopy, stratification
