Glasgow Blatchford Score of limited benefit for low-risk urban patients: a mixed methods study
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Most patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) are hospitalized. Risk-stratifying UGIB with scoring tools may decrease avoidable admissions, thereby reducing the cost of care. We sought to describe how frequently low-risk UGIB patients present to urban emergency departments (ED) and the proportion who are admitted to examine how incorporating risk scores in...
متن کاملComparison of Glasgow-Blatchford score and full Rockall score systems to predict clinical outcomes in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding
BACKGROUND Various risk scoring systems have been recently developed to predict clinical outcomes in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The two commonly used scoring systems include full Rockall score (RS) and the Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS). Bleeding scores were assessed in terms of prediction of clinical outcomes in patients with UGIB. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred ...
متن کاملUse of glasgow-blatchford bleeding score reduces hospital stay duration and costs for patients with low-risk upper GI bleeding
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding is a frequent cause of hospitalization. Its severity may be assessed before endoscopy using the Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score (GBS), a score validated to identify patients requiring clinical intervention. The aim of this study was to assess whether the GBS was effective for shortening hospital stay and reducing costs in patient...
متن کاملACP Journal Club. The Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score identified patients with upper GI bleeding who could be managed as outpatients.
Description of prediction guide: The GBS had 4 variables: blood urea levels (6.5 to 7.9 mmol/L = 2, 8.0 to 9.9 mmol/L = 3, 10 to 25 mmol/L = 4, > 25 mmol/L = 6), hemoglobin levels (120 to 129 g/L = 1, 100 to 119 g/L = 3, < 100 g/L = 6 [men]; 100 to 119 g/L = 1, < 100 g/L = 6 [women]), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (100 to 109 mm Hg = 1, 90 to 99 mm Hg = 2, < 90 mm Hg = 3), and other markers (pu...
متن کاملRisk assessment in acute non-variceal upper GI bleeding: the AIMS65 score in comparison with the Glasgow-Blatchford score in a Scottish population.
INTRODUCTION The early use of risk stratification scores is recommended for patients presenting with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds (ANVGIB). AIMS65 is a novel, recently derived scoring system, which has been proposed as an alternative to the more established Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS). OBJECTIVE To validate the AIMS65 scoring system in a predominantly Caucasian pop...
