Predicting mortality and readmission in UGIB: a comparative study of rockall, glasgow-blatchford, and AIMS65 scores.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a frequent emergency requiring prompt risk stratification for effective management. This study evaluates the predictive accuracy of three pre-endoscopic scoring systems-Glasgow-Blatchford Score (GBS), AIMS65, and pre-endoscopic Rockall Score (pRS)-in forecasting 30-day mortality and hospital readmission among UGIB patients in Iranian tertiary hospitals.

Methods

A prospective observational study was conducted at Al-Zahra and Khorshid Hospitals (Isfahan, Iran) between April 2024 and April 2025. Adult patients presenting with UGIB symptoms were assessed using pRS, GBS, and AIMS65. Data were collected prospectively at the time of admission and during hospitalization using standardized clinical forms and patient records. Statis
