Abstract
Endoscopy is the mainstay for diagnosis and therapy of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Early risk assessment is crucial for effective timing of endoscopy and determination of the need for other measures to be taken—scoring systems should be used for this purpose. A new prospective study suggests that the Blatchford score can identify patients who do not need endoscopic intervention.
