Excess long-term mortality following non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a population-based cohort study (2013)
Journal Article

It is unclear whether an upper gastrointestinal bleed is an isolated gastrointestinal event or an indicator of a deterioration in a patient's overall health status. Therefore, we investigated the excess causes of death in individuals afte...
