Validation of CAGIB Score for In-hospital Mortality of Cirrhotic Patients With Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Prospective, International Multicenter, Observational Study
Xingshun Qi
Summary
Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is potentially lethal in liver cirrhosis. Accurate assessment of prognosis is critical in a timely fashion. A novel model, CAGIB score, has been developed based on our Chinese multicenter retrospective study. Now, a prospective, international multicenter, observational study will be performed to further compare the performance of CAGIB versus Child-Pugh and MELD scores for evaluating the in-hospital mortality of patients with liver cirrhosis and acute gastrointestinal bleeding.
