Abstract

Background: Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH) management is predicated on the concept that therapeutic endoscopy improves patient outcomes. Physicians use clinical characteristics to predict the pre-endoscopic likelihood of therapy, focusing urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) on those believed to have high risk stigmata or active bleeding. Therefore, we evaluated the ability, before EGD, of physicians with different levels of clinical experience to accurately predict the need for endoscopic treatment.
