Comparison of various prognostic scores in variceal and non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A prospective cohort study
2019
Background and Aims
Various prognostic scores like Glasgow–Blatchford bleeding score (GBS), modified Glasgow–Blatchford bleeding score (mGBS), full Rockall score (FRS) including endoscopic findings, clinical Rockall score (CRS), and albumin, international normalized ratio (INR), mental status, systolic blood pressure, age >65 (AIMS65) are used for risk stratification in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The utility of these scores in variceal UGIB (VUGIB) is not well defined. In this prospective study, we aimed to assess the performance of these scores in patients with non-variceal (NVUGIB) and VUGIB.
