Abstract
Severe GI bleeding after hematopoietic cell transplantation is commonly due to lesions that are unusual in nontransplant patients. The frequency of GI bleeding appears to have decreased over the last decade, but the reasons have not been readily apparent. We sought to determine the incidence of severe bleeding during two time periods, to describe the causes and outcomes of bleeding, and to analyze the reasons behind an apparent decline in severe bleeding over the decade covered.
