Upper gastrointestinal bleedings are still a challenge for gastroenterologists as well as for physicians in the emergency departments. They are one of the most frequent causes for admission in the world. As a result, numerous risk assessment scores were described, some including accessible variables, some others including the need for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to quantify the risk of mortality, the implementation of emergency endoscopy, the risk of rebleeding, and the necessity of blood transfusion.
