Validation of a New Score for UGI Bleeding in the ED: the Study of the TU-GIB Score

We have developed a new reliable, easy and reproducible clinical and biological score to select patients presenting to the emergency department with upper GI bleeding and at high risk of developing complications in order to plan an adequate management.This score was compared to the Glasgow-Blatchford score and showed better results in predicting rebleeding, the need for hemostasis therapy and any complications at day 30 including mortality.In a second step and as an objective of this study, it is necessary to perform an external validation of this score in different emergency departments.

Inclusion Criteria:patients consulting the emergency room for upper GI hemorrhage of non-traumatic origin.Age >18 yearsExclusion Criteria:patient under the age of 18Lower gastrointestinal hemorrhagdiagnosis of external hemorrhoids / perianal lesionsNot consentingThe lost sight
