In 1986, 292 patients were admitted to a joint medical-surgical gastrointestinal unit with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Fourteen patients died (4.8%) a mortality considerably lower than recorded in most series. The low mortality may result from the use of a specialized gastrointestinal unit to which all patients with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage are admitted and managed with strict protocols for resuscitation, transfusion and surgery.
1986年，292名因上消化道出血而入住胃肠联合内科-外科病房的患者。14名患者死亡（4.8%），这一死亡率远低于大多数研究系列所记录的。低死亡率可能是由于使用了专门的胃肠病房，所有上消化道出血患者都被收治于此，并按照严格的复苏、输血和手术方案进行管理。
