The timing of endoscopy does not significantly affect clinical outcomes in cirrhotic patients with variceal bleeding.
5-day treatment failure rates were similar between early endoscopy (10.1%) and delayed endoscopy (9%).
Key predictors of in-hospital mortality include low systolic blood pressure and elevated serum creatinine levels.
Retrospective analysis included 265 cirrhotic patients undergoing endoscopic variceal ligation between 2022 and 2024.
