Estimate rebleeding and mortality after upper GI bleeding with the complete Rockall score.
Rockall Score (UGI Bleed Mortality)
Age
Shock
Comorbidity
Diagnosis (endoscopic)
Stigmata of recent haemorrhage
When to use
Post-endoscopy risk assessment in upper GI haemorrhage.
How it works
Age, shock, comorbidity, endoscopic diagnosis and stigmata of recent haemorrhage (max 11). The first three items form the pre-endoscopy clinical Rockall (max 7).
Key points
- Score ≤ 2 indicates low risk of rebleeding/death.
- Needs endoscopic findings for the complete score.
- Higher scores warrant closer monitoring.
