Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
1. Patients presenting with haematemesis, coffee-ground vomit, melaena
2. Patients presenting with haematochezia and circulatory insufficiency (heart rate >100 bpm and/or systolic blood pressure <100 mmHg)

Exclusion criteria: Patients who have an UGIB whilst already an in-patient for other reasons

Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB)
Digestive System
Intervention(s)

This is an international observational study across seven international sites, to compare five established risk assessment scores in the prediction of clinical outcomes for patients presenting with UGIB. We will collect data to calculate these scores for each patient, then compare the scores' ability to predict the pre-determined end-points.

There are no interventions. We will simply collate data on presentation to hospital with UGIB to allow measurement of the recognised risk scoring systems for this condition. We will then follow up the patients to determine outcomes as described above in the study hypothesis section.
Primary Outcome(s)
Need for hospital-based intervention or 30-day mortality on follow-up
Secondary Outcome(s)

1. Rebleeding within 7 days
2. Length of hospital stay
