The oakland and Glasgow-Blatchford scores demonstrated excellent performance in predicting severe LGIB, need for blood transfusion, and mortality, outperforming the AIMS65 score. Hemostatic interventions and rebleeding prediction by all scores were suboptimal. These results suggest Glasgow-Blatchford score as an alternative for risk stratification in patients with acute lower GI bleeding.
