Utility of a Simplified Predictive Model to Predict Rebleeding in Patients With High-risk Stigmata Ulcers

Abstract

In patients with high-risk stigmata ulcers with sPM and mBRS ≤1 the risk of rebleeding is low and their early discharge could be considered.

Letter: scoring systems for upper gastrointestinal bleeding – authors’ reply

“…Previous modifications of the GBS have been used to risk stratify patients. 4,5 We believe that our mGBS offers the greatest potential advantage because it eliminates the subjective components of the GBS. By using only quantitative parameters (Pulse, systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, haemoglobin) the mGBS can be easily and reliably calculated by any member of the healthcare team.…”

“…3 In the present paper, the authors eliminated subjective variables from GBS to make it easier to use and therefore more easily implement into routine clinical practice. 1 In a paper from our group, 4 we made modifications to reach a simplified Glasgow Blatchford Score (sGBS), which is easy to remember and very easy to use in clinical practice (Table 1). Our primary outcome was prediction of rebleeding in patients with high-risk stigmata ulcers.…”
