Study Overview
Brief Summary
Use of risk scoring systems in the assessment of patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage is increasing. Comparative studies have intended to identify the system of choice, but the majority of these are characterized by retrospective designs, small sample sizes, low rate of severe bleeding, or low mortality. The main aim of this study was to identify the optimal scoring system.
