About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the feasibility and safety evaluation of endoscopic treatment of esophagogastric varices in cirrhosis on the day-care ward. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is inpatient endoscopic treatment on day wards also feasible and safe for patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding in cirrhosis when compared to inpatient endoscopy on a general ward? Participants undergoing inpatient endoscopic treatment for cirrhotic esophagogastric variceal bleeding on day wards and general wards will answer online survey questions about their postoperative period over a 1-year period.
