NCT06515353 | Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: GIB and Atmospheric Pressure
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 250
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate whether atmospheric pressure has an effect on upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), which includes causes such as peptic ulcer disease, esophagitis, gastritis, gastrointestinal varices, Mallory-Weiss tears, and gastric cancer. The goal is to determine the impact of atmospheric pressure and gather information on its role in high-risk UGIB.
