A clinical predictive model for risk stratification of patients with severe acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding

Abstract Background Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common presentation of surgical admissions, imposing a significant burden on healthcare costs and resources. There is a paucity of standardised clinical predictive tools available for the initial assessment and risk stratification of pa...
