Introduction

The number of abstracts concerning gastrointestinal bleeding presented at the Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting in 2005 was quite high, making the task of selecting abstracts for detailed review little difficult. Priority has been given to large meta-analyses and epidemiological studies, randomized controlled trials involving larger numbers of patients, descriptions of newer techniques, and abstracts presenting data significantly differing from what is commonly known. Abstracts on capsule endoscopy, in which obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common indication, are the topic of a separate paper.
