Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Assessing the role of frailty as measured by the Canadian Study of Health and Ageing (CSHA) clinical frailty scale, age, and other risk scores (Charles comorbidity index, Glasgow Blatchford score, AIMS 65 score) in predicting mortality in consecutive patients with upper gastrointestinal bleed over 21 months.
The score of frailty is assigned by an investigator at the time of upper GI bleed from an overall clinical assessment after their informed consent. The rest of the data is collected from the medical records. The 30-day follow-up data is either obtained from the medical records if available or via telephone follow-up.

Statistical methods / analysis
Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on the variables to determine whether they predict all-cause inpatient mortality.
The same analysis was also done on the age and other risk scores to determine whether they predict 30-day all-cause mortality, 30-day re-bleed, 30-day re-admission, ICU admission, need for blood transfusion, endoscopic re-intervention, and hospital length of stay.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this observational study is to check whether frailty predicts mortality/death in patients who are in the hospital for an upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) episode. We hypothesize that frailty is an independent predictor of death in patients with UGIB and other important hospital outcomes.
