Hafezi-Nejad N, Bailey CR, Arun A, et al. - A population-based analysis of national inpatient trends and outcomes in the united states was conducted to evaluate the transcatheter and endoscopic treatment of gastric and duodenal bleeding. Researchers applied data from the national inpatient sample (1993-2015) for trend analysis and to compare patient characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes for endoscopic and transcatheter treatments of gastric and duodenal bleeding. The data indicate that embolization is correlated with comparable mortality and length of stay after accounting for disease severity and the need for additional procedures, though endoscopy remains the mainstream of treatment of upper GI bleeding.
