==Background==
*Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score (SBS) Screening tool to assess the likelihood that a patient with an acute [[upper gastrointestinal bleeding]] will need medical intervention (i.e. blood transfusion and/or endoscopy)<ref>"A risk score to predict need for treatment for uppergastrointestinal haemorrhage"</ref>
*May be able to identify patients who do not need to be admitted to hospital with upper gastrointestinal bleeding
**16% of patients presenting with [[upper gastrointestinal bleeding]] had a GBS score of "0", considered low. Among these patients there were no deaths or interventions needed and the patients were able to be effectively treated in an outpatient setting<ref>Stanley AJ et al. Outpatient management of patients with low-risk upper-gastrointestinal haemorrhage: Multicentre validation and prospective evaluation. Lancet 2009 Jan 3; 373:42.</ref>

In the validation group, scores of 6 or more were associated with a greater than 50% risk of needing an intervention.
