Management Outcomes of Variceal Bleeding in Northern Tanzania: Insights From a Single‐Center Retrospective Analysis
This study shows a high rate of variceal bleeding among patients treated conservatively. Mortality and rebleeding rates in our setting remain high, which appears to be due to the expensiveness and unavailability of endoscopic treatment. Available endoscopic interventions will be vital in improving the outcomes of patients with variceal bleeding.
