Abstract
Distinguishing between self-limiting LGIH and LGIH requiring emergency surgery is difficult. In our series, the only factors predictive of emergency surgery were hemodynamic instability on arrival at the emergency department and age less than 80 years. Cause of bleeding is not a predictive factor as it generally unknown at symptom onset.
