  • Title: Nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: standard and new treatment.
    Author: Ferguson CB, Mitchell RM.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 2005 Dec; 34(4):607-21. PubMed ID: 16303573.
    Abstract:
    Nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding remains a challenging problem with a significant morbidity and mortality. In recent years endoscopic techniques have evolved, resulting in improved primary hemostasis and a reduction in the risk of rebleeding. Combination endoscopic therapy followed by high-dose proton pump inhibitor shows improved outcomes. Innovative endoscopic therapies hold promise but are as yet unproved. An aging population with significant medical comorbidities has a major influence on the overall outcome from upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
