Urgent endoscopy is associated with worse outcomes in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding and comorbidities.
Younger patients undergoing urgent endoscopy showed increased rebleeding rates within 7 days, suggesting a need for timely intervention.
Retrospective cohort analysis of 599 individuals from emergency departments revealed baseline risk factors influenced outcomes significantly.
Findings highlight that presentation severity and comorbid burden, rather than endoscopy timing, dictate prognosis and outcomes.
