A57 ACUTE VARICEAL GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING DOES NOT INFER POOR SURVIVAL COMPARED TO NON-VARICEAL BLEEDING IN PATIENTS WITH CIRRHOSIS: A RETROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

摘要

BackgroundAcute upper gastrointestinal bleed (UGIB) in cirrhosis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The most frequent cause of UGIB in cirrhosis is acute variceal bleed (AVB), though non-variceal bleed (NVB) may also occur. Whether there exists differences in mortality and clinical outcomes between AVB and NVB is unknown.
