Core Tip
Core Tip: Acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB) presents a significant medical challenge. Despite advancements in management, mortality remains high in the context of an increasingly elderly, comorbid population. While early risk stratification using established scoring systems ensures targeted management, newer scoring systems show promise in predicting mortality and should be integrated into medical practice after proper validation. Novel endoscopic techniques offer promising alternatives, especially in cases where conventional modalities are ineffective. By integrating validated scoring systems and adopting innovative therapeutic modalities, clinicians can enhance patient care and mitigate the substantial mortality associated with ANVUGIB.
