External Validation of the SHA2PE Score and Its Comparison to the Oakland Score for the Prediction of Safe Discharge in Patients With Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Safe discharge for Lower GI Bleeding. Completed, enrolled 398 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The increasing incidence in lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) leads to a rise in hospital admission. Many LGBI are self-limiting thus the several scores to identify low risk patients suited to outpatient care have been described. We aim to compare two of this scores (Oakland score and SHA2PE score) in terms of performace to predict "safe discharge" from the emergency department.
