Stress hyperglycemia ratio predicts adverse outcomes in emergency department patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding
SHR was independently associated with adverse outcomes in UGIB, especially ICU admission and transfusion. As a simple, rapidly available marker that adjusts for baseline glycemic control, it may complement existing risk scores and support early, pre-endoscopic risk stratification in the ED, and warrants validation in prospective studies.
