Implication

Prospective observational study explores risk factors for mortality and complications in cirrhosis patients with UGIB, indicating critical predictors.

Key Points

This study examines how liver disease etiology and ICU accessibility affect outcomes like mortality and complications in UGIB.
Prospective observational design with 228 patients admitted for UGIB.
Cox regression analysis to identify predictors of mortality and rebleeding.
Poisson regression analysis for assessing infection rates.
85.5% of patients survived UGIB, while 14.5% died.
Intubation and transfusions correlated with higher mortality (p < 0.001 and p = 0.029, respectively).
Transfer to the ICU was linked to a reduced risk of rebleeding (p = 0.045).
