Rockall Score for Upper GI Bleeding (Pre-Endoscopy)
Clinical (pre-endoscopy) Rockall Score using only clinical variables available at admission, before endoscopy. Predicts mortality and re-bleeding in upper GI haemorrhage. The Glasgow-Blatchford score is more accurate for triage; pre-endoscopy Rockall identifies very high-risk patients.
