Consecutive subjects (age > 18) were identified through computerized medical records using ICD-9-CM codes in relation to non-variceal upper GI bleed. Data regarding Rockall score, pro-hemorrhagic medication use and patient demographics were abstracted and analyzed. Outcome measures included re-...
Aortoenteric fistula is a rare but life-threatening cause of UGIB that needs to be excluded. Aortoenteric fistulae may present with melena as a sentinel bleed before the development of brisk, hemodynamically significant bleeding. Patients typically have a history of endovascular intervention of the a...
Out of 296 patients, 168 (56.7%) had variceal (V) bleed, while 128 (43.2%) individuals had a non-variceal (NV) type of GI bleed. The mortality rate was 9.8% (n = 29), which was higher among the V bleed group compared to the NV bleed group (8.7% vs. 1.1%). The area ...
In addition, nasogastric lavage is frequently performed in the emergency department to rule in or out GI bleeding [9, 20]. However, the role of nasogastric lavage before endoscopy remains uncertain. As the GBS is a well-established scoring system for predicting the need for intervention in UGIB...

Bleed severity, measured by controlling for blood transfusions and vasopressor use, also did not explain the LOS differences. The observed racial disparities in LOS for IR treatment may be explained by time to first intervention. For acute upper GI bleeds (variceal and non-variceal), early ...
We used Rockall scoring system to identify risk of patient mortality. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS 22·0. Results: The survey included 260 patients having males (62·3%) more than females (37·7%) with age ranging from 12 to 85 years. Among all, varicea...
Su1505 Role of a Potential Scoring System to Predict the Risk of Pulmonary Aspiration in Patients With Upper GI Bleed Undergoing EGDPurpose Cardiopulmonary complications are most common complications encountered with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Pulmonary aspiration is a frequently observed in ...
Charts were selected using ICD-9 code for GI bleed. Subjects with a GBS of zero (low-risk) were evaluated for complications. A GBS of zero was assigned if BUN < 18.2, hemoglobin 鈮 13.0(male) or 鈮 12.0 (female), systolic blood pressure 鈮 110, pulse < 100, the patient had no ...
Sa1212 Glasgow-Blatchford Score as a Prognostic Scoring System for Lower Gastrointestinal Bleed: Is it as Good as for Upper Gastrointestinal Bleed?Background. Blatchford and AIMS65 scores were developed to risk stratify patients with upper gastrointestinal bleed (UGIB). We sought to assess the ...
