Second-look Endoscopy for Bleeding Peptic Ulcer Disease

Abstract: BACKGROUND Second-look endoscopy after initial therapeutic endoscopy for bleeding peptic ulcer disease (PUD) may decrease the risk of rebleeding; however, it is not recommended routinely. Understanding conditions under which second-look endoscopy is beneficial might be useful for clinical decision making. METHODS Using a decision model, literature-based probabilities, and Medicare reimbursement costs, we compared routine second-look endoscopy to no second-look endoscopy. We measured rebleeding, need for surg… Show more

“…When removing the two trials including patients at highest risk of rebleeding, no significant benefit attributable to SLE was noted. Another report by Imperiale and Kong 9 suggested that, if rebleeding risk is not 31% or greater, routine SLE cost highly over the benefit for bleeding peptic ulcer.…”
