|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | |
| General conditions | Poor | Intermediate | Good |
| Pulse (beats/minute) | > 110 | 90 - 110 | < 90 |
| Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) | < 90 | 90 - 110 | > 110 |
| Hemoglobin levels (g/dl) | ≤ 8 | 9 - 10 | > 10 |
General condition was defined based on the patient’s number of comorbidities.
Poor condition was associated with ≤ 3 comorbidities or impending to shock.
Good condition means a patient is without weakness or orthostatic hypotension and has ≤ 1 comorbidity. Intermediate condition includes patients with conditions between the mentioned two groups.
A score < 6 indicates high-risk (T1), a score between 7 and 9 shows moderate-risk (T2), and a score of ≥ 10 reveals low-risk patients (T3) for detection of major findings in endoscopy.
