About

Unlike upper GI bleeding, for LGIB there is still a paucity of data on clinical presentation, patient characteristics, pathways of care and outcomes for LGIB patients. In-hospital mortality ranges from 1.2% to 8.8% (2-4), according to retrospective studies, but data from prospective series are still limited (5).

Present multicentre, prospective, observational study was designed to explore these areas, to assess variations in practice management and to identify factors associated with patient outcomes.
