Characteristics, Risk Stratification, and Outcomes of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients Receiving Antithrombotic Therapy
: In patients with antithrombotic-related GI bleeding, ulcers and erosions predominate, with minimal differences between single and dual therapy outcomes. Concomitant NSAID use trends toward higher mortality. Glasgow-Blatchford score offers optimal performance for both rebleeding and mortality prediction, with a cutoff of 5.5 providing excellent sensitivity (92.9%) and specificity (78.8%) for rebleeding risk assessment.
