Optimal Timing of Feeding After Endoscopic Hemostasis in Patients With Peptic Ulcer Bleeding: A Randomized, Noninferiority Trial (CRIS KCT0001019)
This study was a randomized, single center, noninferiority trial. Consecutive patients with peptic ulcer bleeding were randomized to resume feeding either 24 or 48 hours after successful endoscopic hemostasis. Recurrent bleeding rates at 7 days were 7.9% in the 24-hour group and 4.0% in 48-hour groups. The transfusion requirement and the length of hospital stay were similar between the 2 groups. Our results do not allow a recommendation of refeeding at 24 hours, rather than later, in this popula
