A recent study conducted at University Hospital in Granada, Spain, aimed to analyze the characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of patients with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The study found that patients with massive bleeding had higher rates of chronic kidney disease, cirrhosis, in-patient status, disseminated malignancy, alcoholism, and severe comorbidities. The study also identified in-patient status, systemic diseases, malignancy, active bleeding in endoscopy, and severe complications as risk factors for massive bleeding and mortality. The researchers suggest that innovative healthcare interventions, such as Emergency Department-based intermediate care areas or Intensive Care Units, and multidisciplinary follow-up, could potentially improve survival.
