Rockall risk scoring system attempts to identify patients at risk of adverse outcome following acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Rockall et al identified independent risk factors[1] which were later shown to predict mortality accurately. The scoring system uses clinical criteria ( increasing age, co-morbidity, shock) as well as endoscopic finding (diagnosis, stigmata of acute bleeding).

Variable[2] Score 0 Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
Age <60 60- 79 >80
Shock No shock Pulse >100 SBP <100
Comorbidity Nil major CCF, IHD, major morbidity Renal failure, liver failure, metastatic cancer
Diagnosis Mallory-weiss All other diagnoses GI malignancy
Evidence of bleeding None Blood, adherent clot, spurting vessel

Interpretation

Total score is calculated by simple addition. A score less than 3 carries good prognosis but total score more than 8 carries high risk of mortality[3].
