Differences in the clinical course of 516 Japanese patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding between weekday and weekend admissions.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Patients suspected of having upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) admitted during the weekend tend to have a poor outcome in western countries. However, no Japanese studies have been reported on this matter. We aimed to evaluate differences in the clinical course of patients with UGIB between weekday and weekend admissions in Japan. METHODS:Medical records of patients who had undergone emergency endoscopy for UGIB were retrospectively reviewed. The severity of UGIB was evaluated using the Glasgow-Blatchford (GB) and AIMS65 score. Patients in whom UGIB was stopped and showed improved iron deficiency anemia after admission were considered as having a good clinical course. RESULTS:We reviewed 516 consecutive patients and divided them into two groups: Group A (daytime admission on a weekday: 234 patients) and Group B (nighttime or weekend admission: 282 patients). There was no significant difference in GB and AIM65 scores between the Groups. The proportions of patients with good clinical course were not significantly different between groups (A, 67.5% and B, 67.0%; p = .90). However, patients in Group B underwent hemostatic treatments more frequently compared with those in Group A (58.5% vs 47.4%, p = .012). Multivariate analysis showed that taking acid suppressants, no need for blood transfusions, use of hemostatic treatments, and GB score <12 were associated with a good clinical course. CONCLUSIONS:There were no significant differences in the clinical outcomes of patients with UGIB admitted during daytime on weekdays and those admitted at nighttime or weekends partly owing to the sufficient performance of endoscopic hemostatic treatments.
