Abstract

V originále

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a medical emergency that requires rapid assessment and dynamic management. In many hospitals emergency endoscopy (a crucial part of the diagnostic and therapeutic process) is not easily available around the clock. The Glasgow Blatchford score (GBS) predicts the outcome of patients at present. European guidelines recommend outpatient management for a GBS of 0 or 1. [1] The aim of our study was to validate the applicability of GBS on a population of Czech patients and to evaluate whether extending the GBS allows for early discharge while keeping the patient safe.
