Comparative StudyThe AIMS65 score compared with the Glasgow-Blatchford score in predicting outcomes in upper GI bleeding.
We previously derived and validated the AIMS65 score, a mortality prognostic scale for upper GI bleeding (UGIB). ⋯ The AIMS65 score is superior to the GBRS in predicting inpatient mortality from UGIB, whereas the GBRS is superior for predicting blood transfusion. Both scores are similar in predicting the composite clinical endpoint and other outcomes in clinical care and resource use.
