Upper GI bleeding: predicting outcomes with a new score
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a new scoring system called HALP to predict death and re-bleeding in people who come to the emergency room with upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It may help doctors better understand your risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Diagnosed with upper GI bleeding through an endoscopy
- Had blood tests done at the emergency room (albumin, hemoglobin, platelets, INR)
- Not pregnant

This trial studies whether a newer “OTSC” procedure works as well as a standard procedure called angiographic embolization to stop active, hard-to-control upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It may help people whose bleeding continues or comes back even after initial endoscopy treatment.
This study looks at a simple blood test score called the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) index to see how well it predicts recovery in people with bleeding from enlarged veins in the esophagus (varices). It may help doctors better understand your risk and guide treatment.
This trial tests whether giving blood more freely (liberal) or more sparingly (restrictive) is better for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding who are anemic. It aims to find the safest approach for you.
This study checks how well a risk score predicts the need for treatment in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (bleeding in the stomach or esophagus). It may help doctors decide if you need urgent care.
This study aims to create a tool that helps doctors predict if a patient with upper gut bleeding (not from veins) will rebleed while still in the hospital. It uses information from your hospital stay to better understand your risk and improve care.
This study checks whether a score called CAGIB can accurately predict the risk of dying during the hospital stay for people with cirrhosis who have sudden bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors identify who needs the most urgent care and monitor outcomes more accurately.
