A series of patients with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage treated at the Royal North Shore Hospital from 1976 to 1977 was compared to a similar series treated from 1947 to 1949. Although over-all mortality rates were similar, a clear improvement emerged when variceal, carcinoma and stress ulcer patients were excluded, and when the effect of age was taken into account (the mortality rate in the non-variceal, non-cancer, non-stress patients being 2% over-all, and 1.5% in those under 60 years of age). A review of the English literature on upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage from 1930 to 1977 showed no improvement in over-all mortality over this period. When these same factors were taken into account, however, the survival in the non-stress, chronic peptic ulcer group aged over 60 years was found to have significantly improved over this time.
将1976年至1977年在皇家北岸医院接受治疗的一系列上消化道出血患者与1947年至1949年治疗的类似系列患者进行了比较。尽管总体死亡率相似，但排除静脉曲张、癌症和应激性溃疡患者，并考虑年龄因素后（非静脉曲张、非癌症、非应激患者的总体死亡率为2%，60岁以下患者为1.5%），明显出现了改善。对1930年至1977年关于上消化道出血的英文文献进行回顾发现，在此期间总体死亡率没有改善。然而，考虑到这些相同因素后，发现60岁以上非应激性慢性消化性溃疡组的生存率在此期间有显著提高。
