Abstract:Purpose
Gastrointestinal system bleeding (GIB) is a common and highly morbid condition with high mortality rates frequently observed in emergency departments.

In our study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive power of RS for mortality, rebleeding, and the need for blood transfusion, and to provide benefits to clinicians.
