Siddiqui NS, et al. - Via analyzing data from 2002 to 2013 National Inpatient Sample, researchers examined trends of incidence and outcomes in gastrointestinal (GI) bleed with shock. They analyzed events based on the type of GI bleed, in-hospital mortality, hemodynamic status, and use of blood products. According to results, GI bleed with shock lead to higher hospital mortality. Findings suggested that GI bleed with shock has a higher mortality and has been increasing steadily between 2002 and 2013. Data reported that packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion has been associated in improved mortality in GI bleed with shock except variceal bleed.
