Objectives: To determine the frequency of esophageal variceal bleed in patients with upper GI bleed presenting in a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Cross sectional survey. Setting: Department of Medicine, Mayo Hospital, Lahore and Madinah Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: 6 months from 01-06-2018 to 31-12-2018. Material & Methods: Two hundred patients with upper GI bleed were included in the study. All the patients had upper GI endoscopy to determine the esophageal variceal bleeding which was documented as frequency distribution table. Results: Esophageal variceal bleed was seen among 108 (54%) patients while it was not present among 92 (46%) patients. Conclusion: Esophageal variceal bleeding is frequently present among patients with upper GI bleeding and should be suspected in every patient with upper GI bleeding.
