Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective study analyzed the data of patients diagnosed with acute non-varicose upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB) through endoscopic examinations at our hospital. The results revealed distinct characteristics among patients of different age groups with ANVUGIB. Although this study was conducted at a single center, the age and gender distribution of the patients in this study were similar to those reported in previous multicenter studies in China. The study also assessed the therapeutic effectiveness of endoscopic hemostatic treatment, and indicated that it is an effective approach for treating ANVUGIB, improving efficacy, and deserves wider application.
