Abstract: (508 Views)
Background and purpose: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is one of the most common reasons for emergency admission. In majority of patients, bleeding stops spontaneously, but some high-risk patients may suffer from many complications secondary to upper GI bleeding, so differentiation of low-risk and high-risk patients in emergency departments is of particular importance. Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS), Clinical Rockall Score (CRS) and Full Rockall Score (FRC) are the most common assessment tools for evaluating patients with upper GI bleeding.
Materials and methods: In a prospective descriptive study, for 249 patients with upper GI bleeding who referred to an emergency department, GBS and CRS were used at first visit, and after endoscopy the FRC was used. Two weeks after discharge, a checklist was completed to determine the disease prognosis that included items about mortality, re-bleeding, the need for surgery, and blood transfusion.
Results: In Glasgow Blatchford Scoring system, 238 (95.6%) people were considered high risk and 11 (4.4%) patients were low risk. CRS showed 165 (66.3%) high-risk patients and 84 (33.7%) low-risk patients. According to FRC, 193 (77.5%) patients were high risk and 56 (22.5%) were low risk.
Conclusion: The Full Rockall scoring system is an acceptable criterion for identifying high-risk patients and a very accurate post-endoscopic scoring tool that helps in identifying patients with a poor prognosis. Among the pre-endoscopic scoring systems, CRS is valuable in identifying low-risk patients, and their follow-up and endoscopy as an outpatient procedure. GBS is more valuable in identifying high risk patients.
