Material and Methods: All patients having AIMS65 score>3 with UGIB, defined by the presence of hematemesis, melena or hematochezia, and/or a positive N/G tube aspiration for coffee ground, black or bloody contents were enrolled. Information on clinical factors was collected by taking a history and conducting an examination. Blood pressure was recorded manually by mercury sphygmomanometer.

Laboratory investigations were sent to hospital laboratory which was headed by classified pathologist. AIMS65 mortality score of UGIB was calculated. Each risk factor (variable) carries one point.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 57.69 ± 16.68 years. There were 51 (32.7%) females and 105 (67.3%) males. Alteration in mental status was observed in 131 (84%) patients.
