There is a paucity of high-quality evidence relating to the management of epistaxis severe enough to require admission to a hospital. Previous studies of interventions for epistaxis have suffered from small sample sizes. They lacked the power to allow analysis of the effect of an intervention on epistaxis control that is independent of the condition severity or additional interventions given.
