Impact of COVID-19 infection on patients admitted with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding : an analysis from the National Inpatient Sample

Copyright © 2023 Baylor University Medical Center..

Background: Nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) is a medical emergency that has significant morbidity and mortality. The available data about the impact of COVID-19 infection on mortality in patients with NVUGIB is limited.

Methods: We identified all hospitalizations with a principal diagnosis of NVUGIB in 2020. The baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 infection were compared to those without COVID-19 infection.

Results: NVUGIB patients with COVID-19 infection had higher mortality (5% vs 2%, P < 0.0001), a longer mean length of stay (6.85 vs 4.48 days, P < 0.0001), and a lower rate of esophagogastroduodenoscopy utilization (40% vs 51%, P < 0.0001) than those without COVID-19 infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that COVID-19 infection was associated with a higher mortality rate (odds ratio 2.2, 95% confidence interval, 1.4-3.4).

Conclusions: COVID-19 infection is an independent predictor of mortality in adults hospitalized with NVUGIB.
