Figure 2 Overall survival of patients with gastric fundal variceal bleeding who used proton pump inhibitors before admission (proton pump inhibitor group, n = 14) vs those who did not (non-proton pump inhibitor group, n = 28).
The overall survival rate was significantly higher in the non-PPI than PPI group (Breslow test, P = 0.0074). PPI: Proton pump inhibitor.
