Endoscopic urgency triaging impacts acute variceal bleeding patient survival and hospital stay length.

Additionally, all patients in both groups who had subcardiac spurters had fully healed (100%); Although the differences did not reach statistical significance, the urgent endoscopy group showed a trend toward more complete eradication of gastric varices ( p = 0.102) and a higher incidence of cyanoacrylate-induced ulcers ( p = 0.138), the later could be explained by issues not related to urgent endoscopy itself rather than other patient’s co-morbid condition ( Table 3 ).
