2020, GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :Patients with NVUGIB may have variable presentations ranging from harmless, minor, self-limited bleeding that can be managed with an outpatient workup, to hypovolemic shock requiring transfer to the intensive care unit. The treating provider should be familiar with various scoring systems that have been developed to help triage patients with NVUGIB.7–10 These scoring systems are based on clinical parameters and endoscopic findings that predict mortality and rebleeding risk in patients with NVUGIB (Table 1).

2012, Gastrointestinal EndoscopyCitation Excerpt :In 3 studies comparing clinical prediction rule scores in the same study population, the Blatchford score performed better than the Clinical Rockall score for predicting patients at high risk for clinical intervention.12-14 The Blatchford score15 and the Clinical Rockall score16 have been examined in several studies and may determine the need for urgent endoscopy. The Blatchford score uses data on blood urea and hemoglobin levels, systolic blood pressure, pulse, presentation with melena, presentation with syncope, history of hepatic disease, and history of heart failure (Table 2).15
Clinical triage decision vs risk scores in predicting the need for endotherapy in upper gastrointestinal bleeding
2012, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :The goals of these tools are to identify patients most likely to suffer an adverse outcome and, therefore, more likely to benefit from early, aggressive management as well as to identify those most likely to have a benign course so that early hospital discharge or even outpatient management can be considered. The Rockall score is a scoring system that was developed to predict mortality in patients with acute UGIH [5-8]. The score consists of a clinical component composed of preendoscopy variables as well as an endoscopic component (Table 1).
