Overview

Two scoring systems identify those at risk for adverse outcomes from UGIB which include Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS) and Rockall score. Glasgow Blatchford score is most commonly used and is more accurate.

Risk stratification

Two scoring systems identify those at risk for adverse outcomes from UGIB:[1]

  • The Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS)
  • The Rockall score

The Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS)

GBS is the more effective system for predicting the need for transfusion in patients with UGIB:

The Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS)
Admission risk markers Score
Blood urea nitrogen level (mg/dl)   ≥ 18.2 to < 22.4 2
  ≥ 22.4 to < 28 3
≥ 28 to < 70 4
  ≥ 70 6
Hemoglobin level (g/dl) Men    ≥ 12 to < 13 1
  ≥ 10 to < 12 3
< 10 6
Women    ≥ 10 to < 12 1
 < 10 6
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)    ≥ 100 to < 109 1
 ≥ 90 to < 99 2
  < 90 3
Other markers Pulse rate ≥ 100 beats/min 1
Presentation with melena 1
Presentation with syncope 2
Hepatic disease 2
Heart failure 2
Interpratation of score 0-2 Low-risk group
>6 High risk group

The Rockall score

The complete Rockall score identifies those patients with evidence of acute UGIB on endoscopy who are at low risk for further bleeding or death.[4][5]

The Rockall score
Markers Score
Age <60 0
60 - 79 1

Shock stage Blood pressure >120 0
100-119 1

Heart rate >100 0
<100 1
Comorbidity No major comorbidity 0

Renal failure

Liver failure
