Gastroesophageal Variceal Hemorrhage
Abstract
Gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage, a major complication of portal hypertension resulting from cirrhosis, accounts for 10 to 30 percent of all cases of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract.1 Variceal hemorrhage occurs in 25 to 35 percent of patients with cirrhosis and accounts for 80 to 90 percent of bleeding episodes in these patients.24 Variceal hemorrhage is associated with more substantial morbidity and mortality than other causes of gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as with higher hospital costs.57 Up to 30 percent of initial bleeding episodes are fatal, and as many as 70 percent of survivors have recurrent bleeding after . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
