The Glasgow Blatchford Score Is the Most Accurate Assessment of Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

The GBS accurately identifies patients with UGIH most likely to need hospital-based intervention and also those best suited for outpatient care. The EGBS seems promising but must be validated externally. No scoring system seems to accurately predict patients' 30-day mortality or rebleeding. ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01589250.
