Testing the Glasgow-Blatchford bleeding score in Tunisian adults with upper gastrointestinal bleeding

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter observational study will enroll adults (≥18 years) presenting with non‑traumatic upper gastrointestinal bleeding to participating emergency departments, with clinical and epidemiological data collected using a standardized form. Investigators will calculate each patient's Glasgow‑Blatchford Score at presentation and follow patients for 30 days to record outcomes including rebleeding, need for hemostatic intervention, complications, and mortality. Statistical analysis will measure the score's predictive performance using sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for 30‑day outcomes. The goal is to determine whether the GBS can reliably stratify risk in the Tunisian setting where routine hospitalization of all patients is common.
