International survey reveals inconsistent pre-endoscopic management practices in acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, indicating room for improvement.

Key Points

This research aims to understand the real-life assessment and management practices before endoscopy in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Conducted an international online survey from April to November 2023.
Collected responses on demographics, clinical practice, definitions of hemodynamic instability, and pre-endoscopic assessment.
Analyzed variations in responses based on clinicians' years of experience.
47.1% of clinicians used a triage system for AUGIB; 60.4% applied risk stratification scores.
85% followed a restrictive blood transfusion strategy in stable patients, dropping to 50.3% in unstable cases.
87.1% prescribed proton pump inhibitors before endoscopy, and 83.7% used vasoactive agents for suspected variceal bleeding.
