Frequently asked questions

What is the Rockall score?

A score for upper GI bleeding that predicts rebleeding and mortality. The full (complete) Rockall score combines clinical and endoscopic variables (0–11).

What is the pre-endoscopy Rockall score?

Using only age, shock, and comorbidity (0–7), it stratifies risk before endoscopy. A score of 0 identifies very low-risk patients.

Rockall vs Glasgow-Blatchford?

Glasgow-Blatchford uses only pre-endoscopy data and best identifies patients safe for outpatient care; full Rockall requires endoscopy and best predicts mortality/rebleeding.

When is the full Rockall calculated?

After diagnostic endoscopy, once the bleeding source and stigmata of recent hemorrhage are known.
