NVUGIB hospitalizations were stratified by frailty using the hospital frailty risk score (HFRS) of 5 or more as the cut\u2010off for frailty.

Frail patients were older, more often female, and had higher comorbidity burdens.

Although frail patients had higher odds of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with intervention (1.04; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), they were less likely to receive EGD within 24\u2009h (0.75; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). They also had higher odds of rebleeding (1.18; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and radioembolization (2.69; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Length of stay increased by 2.30\u2009days, total charges rose by $28\u2009518, discharge to rehabilitation was more frequent (3.12; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01), and 30\u2010day readmission was higher (15.24% vs. 11.43%, HR 1.16; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Frailty independently predicts worse clinical outcomes and increased resource use in NVUGIB.
