Core Tip	Strategies to prevent gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, a morbid complication of cirrhosis, have been largely unchanged for 15 years. With the rising burden of cirrhosis over this time, it might be predicted that there would be a parallel increase in hospitalization rates for this complication. The findings from this study show that hospitalization rates for variceal bleeding are in fact decreasing, specifically in non-alcoholic cirrhosis. This raises the possibility that reductions in hospital admissions for variceal bleeding are attributable to more widespread use of prophylactic measures, and that expansion of these measures in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis could further reduce hospitalizations.
