Hospital Performance for Gastrointestinal Bleeding Mortality, Length of Stay, and Complication Rates in the USA.

Hospital performance metrics for GIB, such as mortality, length of stay, and complication rate, are weakly correlated and thus likely measure different aspects of care. While many hospitals improved over time, few hospitals improved in all three metrics. Additionally, many hospitals are deteriorating over time, and further research is needed to determine which care processes are associated with better outcomes.
