Rockall score

(rok′al″)

An assessment tool to gauge the prognosis of patients who have acute bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Advanced age, hypotension, the presence of other significant illnesses, evidence of active bleeding during endoscopy, and evidence of gastrointestinal malignancy are factors that are all associated with a worse outcome in the bleeding patient.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the performances of the Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score (GBS), pre-endoscopic Rockall score (PRS), complete Rockall score (CRS), and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Predictive Index (CSMCPI) in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

The most widely quoted are the Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score (GBS)4,5 and the pre-endoscopic Rock all score (PRS)6,7, both of which consider only pre-endoscopy criteria, and the complete Rockall score (CRS)8,9 and the Cedars- Sinai Medical Center Predictive Index (CSMCPI),10-12 both of which have additional endoscopic criteria.
