Endoscopic evaluation of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in high-risk populations for hepatitis B and C: a cross-sectional study
Esophageal varices are the leading cause of UGIB in this population, particularly in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The findings underscore the importance of early intervention and management of hepatitis C to reduce the incidence and mortality associated with variceal bleeding in chronic liver disease patients.
