Glasgow-Blatchford Score
The Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS), developed by Blatchford et al. in 2000, is a 23-point risk stratification tool for predicting the need for intervention (transfusion, endoscopic therapy, surgery) in patients presenting with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It integrates clinical and laboratory data to identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for outpatient or non-interventional management.
