Article / Publication Details AbstractBackground: Various scoring systems have been developed to predict endoscopic intervention, mortality, and rebleeding in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB); however, they have not been sufficiently validated in Korea. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of several scoring systems in Korea by validating and comparing the Japanese score and other scores in Korean people with NVUGIB. Methods: The medical records of 1368 patients with NVUGIB were reviewed to collect statistical, clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic data. The Japanese score, ABC score, Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score (GBS), and MAP score were calculated retrospectively at a single research institution. These scores for predicting the need for endoscopic intervention, mortality, and rebleeding were calculated and evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: Of 1368 patients, 88.5% required endoscopic intervention, 4.1% died within 30 days, and 12.6% experienced rebleeding. The Japanese score was effective for predicting endoscopic intervention, and the ABC score was best for predicting 30-day mortality. Sex, age, hematemesis, blood urea nitrogen, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score were found to be predictors of the need for endoscopic intervention. Conclusion: The Japanese score did not prove useful in Koreans with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Additional research is needed due to the limitations of a retrospective study conducted in a single research institute.
