No significant difference in 30-day mortality between urgent endoscopy within 12 hours and early endoscopy within 24 hours.
Length of hospital stay was longer for patients in the urgent endoscopy group, averaging 14.1 days compared to 11.9 days.
Multivariate analysis identified MELD-Na and Glasgow-Blatchford scores as risk factors for 30-day mortality.
Findings suggest that urgent endoscopy does not necessarily improve short-term outcomes in these patients.

Implication

Cohort study shows no mortality difference in urgent versus early endoscopy in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding, indicating timing may be less critical than previously thought.
