TI  - Comparison of emergent endoscopy and upper gastrointestinal series radiography in 
      acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage.
PG  - 180-4
AB  - A prospective study of early diagnostic procedures in acute upper 
      gastrointestinal haemorrhage was conducted in a series of 76 patients. The 
      diagnostic procedures included upper gastrointestinal series radiography (UGIS) 
      and endoscopy (ENDO). The clinicians' diagnosis and management improved in a 
      statistically significant way as a result of the findings of endoscopy. The 
      findings of UGIS did not significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and resulted 
      in a statistically significant adverse effect on patient management. The results 
      suggest that endoscopy is more effective in promoting early accurate diagnosis 
      and management in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage.
