Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of restrictive versus liberal transfusion strategies in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Categorized transfusion strategies into restrictive (Hb < 7 g/dL) and liberal (Hb 9-10 g/dL).
Analyzed clinical outcomes such as mortality, rebleeding rates, and complications.
Restrictive strategy was found to be superior to liberal strategy in reducing mortality and complications.
Cochrane reviews supported that restrictive strategies are as safe, or potentially safer, than liberal strategies.
Liberal transfusion may increase the risk of rebleeding in cases of variceal bleeding.
