Upper gastrointestinal bleeding risk scores: Who, when and why?

Table 3 Cedars-sinai medical centre predictive index

Score	EGD findings1	Time2	Haemodynamics	Comorbidities
0	Ulcer without SHR, non-bleeding MW tear	> 48 h	Stable	≤ 1
	Erosive disease, normal EGD
1	Ulcer with flat spot or clot, erosive disease with SHR, angiodysplasia	< 48 h	Intermediate	2
2	Ulcer with non- bleeding visible vessel or SHR	In hospital	Unstable	3
3				≥ 4
4	Persistent haemorrhage, varices
	UGI cancer

¹Score for endoscopic findings was reduced by 1 point if effective endoscopic therapy was applied (not applicable to varices or cancer);

²Time from onset of symptoms to hospitalization; SHR: Stigmata of recent haemorrhage; MW: Mallory-Weiss tear; EGD: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy; UGI: Upper gastrointestinal.
