Protocol summary

Study aim
This study was designed to investigate the effect of the time of initiation of oral feeding on the duration of hospitalization, the risk of rebleeding and the nutritional status of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by peptic ulcer and erosive gastrointestinal diseases.
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, without blinding, randomized, on 166 patients. To avoid selection bias in the present study, random permutations allocation method
Settings and conduct
Patient admission will be done at Rasool Akram Hospital. Patients who are eligible to participate in the study and are willing to participate in the study are randomly divided into two groups after undergoing medical treatment.

People hospitalized in the intensive care unit, bleeding due to reasons other than peptic ulcer and digestive erosive and bleeding due to caustic substances will not be included in the study.
Intervention groups
The intervention group will receive oral nutrition after 24 hours and the control group after 48 hours of fasting after bleeding treatment.
Main outcome variables
Incidence of rebleeding; duration of hospitalization; nutritional risk screening; arm circumference; serum albumin; total serum protein; Gastrointestinal Clinical Symptoms Questionnaire score; patient satisfaction with the diet plan and pain score
