Stress-related upper gastrointestinal bleeding in adult neurocritical care patients: a Chinese multicenter, retrospective study

Abstract

The rate of UGIB incidence was higher than the estimated rate in neurocritical care patients in China, suggesting the need for better management and treatment for stress-related mucosal disease in China. History of UGIB, mechanical ventilation and/or anticoagulants significantly affected UGIB. ClinicalTrials registry number: NCT02316990.
