CRD SUMMARY:

This generally well-conducted review concluded that the low-dose intravenous proton-pump inhibitors achieved the same efficacy as high-dose proton-pump inhibitors following endoscopic haemostasis in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The authors' conclusions reflect the evidence presented, but should be interpreted with a degree of caution given the limited quality and size of most of the included trials.
