There is limited literature on recent trends in racial differences in incidence of and mortality from nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (NVUGIH). Therefore, we studied these trends in the United States between 2008 and 2018 by conducting a retrospective longitudinal trend analysis using the National Inpatient Sample.1 All adult patients (≥18 years old) with NVUGIH were identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes for the corresponding years (Supplemental Methods, available online at http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org ).
