Performance of the Rockall Scoring System in Predicting the Need for Intervention and Outcomes in Patients with Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in a Brazilian Setting: A Prospective Study

Abstract

The pre-endoscopy Rockall score was not useful for predicting the need for therapeutic intervention or adverse outcomes. The complete Rockall score showed an acceptable performance in predicting mortality, but was unable to predict rebleeding.
