It has been suggested that admission to a gastroenterology service (GAS) is associated with a better prognosis and lower cost for treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, such as upper GI bleeding (UGB). However, a large potential bias by higher comorbidity on internal medicine services (MED) could not be excluded from these studies. We therefore compared patients with upper GI bleeding admitted to a gastroenterology or internal medicine department, with special emphasis on prognostic factors, such as comorbidity, and outcome.
