Core Tip	This review addresses an important literature gap in summarizing the long-term global epidemiology of GIB. Epidemiological data were more widely available for UGIB than for LGIB, which were limited. Estimates of GIB were highly heterogeneous, often due to differences in case definitions, but showed a decreasing trend for UGIB incidence.
