Abstract

This review of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding concentrates mainly on peptic ulcer bleeding, and is based on papers published during the last two years. While the focus is on outcome prediction models and therapeutic interventions, brief reference is also made to certain epidemiological aspects, pathological and animal studies, and risk factors for bleeding peptic ulcer.
