Safe Discharge in Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Spain398 participantsStarted 2014-06-01

Plain-language summary

The increasing incidence in lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) leads to a rise in hospital admission. Many LGBI are self-limiting thus the several scores to identify low risk patients suited to outpatient care have been described. We aim to compare two of this scores (Oakland score and SHA2PE score) in terms of performace to predict "safe discharge" from the emergency department.
