ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Scores in upper GI bleeding (UGIB) are used to stratify death risk and need for hospitalization at admission, but a tool that incorporates dynamic changes during the hospital stay is lacking. We aimed to develop a death risk score that considers changes in clinical status during hospitalization and compare its performance with existing ones.METHODS:
A multicenter cohort study enrolling patients with UGIB in 50 Italian hospitals from January 2014 to December 2015 was conducted. Data were collected and used to develop a risk score using logistic regression analyses. Performance curves (area under the receiver-operating characteristic [AUROC] curves), sensitivities, specificities, positive and negative predictive values, and outcomes classified as low, intermediate, and high death risk were calculated. The score's performance was externally validated and then compared with other scores.RESULTS:
We included 1852 patients with nonvariceal UGIB in the development cohort and 912 in the validation cohorts. The new score, which we named the Re.Co.De (rebleeding-comorbidities-deteriorating) score, included 10 variables depicting the changes in clinical conditions while in the hospital. The mortality AUROC curves were .93 (95% confidence interval, .91-.96) in the derivation cohort and .94 (95% confidence interval, .91-.98) in validation cohort. In a comparison of AUROC curves with other scores, the new score showed a significant performance compared with pre- and postendoscopy scores. Patients with low and high scores had 30-day mortality rates of .001% and 48.2%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
The Re.Co.De score has a higher performance for predicting mortality in patients with UGIB compared with other scores, correctly identifying patients at low and high death risk while in the hospital through a dynamic re-evaluation of clinical status.
