Cedars-Sinai Medical Center predictive index and interpretation

Score	Endoscopic findings	Time *	Hemodynamics	Comorbidities
0	PUD (no SRH), Mallory-Weiss tear (NB), Erosive disease (no SRH), Normal finding	> 48	Stable	≤ 1
1	PUD (spot/clot), Erosive disease (SRH), Angiodysplasia	< 48	Intermediate	2
2	PUD (VVNB/SRH)	In hospital	Unstable	3
3				≥ 4
4	Persistent UGIH, Varices, UGI cancer

Score range is 0 to 11. Patients with a score < 3 can be discharged from ED and others need hospitalization. The criteria of hemodynamic classification was not clearly defined.

^* Time means the interval between the initiation of bleeding and arrival to emergency department (hour), NB: Non-bleeding, PUD: Peptic ulcer disease, SRH: Signs of recent hemorrhage, UGI: Upper gastrointestinal, UGIH: Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, VVNB: Visible vessel, non-bleeding.
