The Rockall score was designed to estimate the risk re-bleeding or death in patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The score is categorized into a) pre-endoscopic (maximum of 8) and b) post-endoscopic or "full"(maximum 11 points)
Patients with a pre-endoscopic score of 0 have an extremely low risk of re-bleeding or death and thus, may be suitable for early discharge from or no admission to the hospital. Patients post-endoscopic Rockall score of < 3 have a low risk of re bleeding or death and can be considered for early discharge.
