Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective clinical study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the Rockall risk score in a Chinese cohort of patients with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB). The conclusion of this study provides valuable insights into the prognostic value of the Rockall risk score for ANVUGIB in the Chinese population. The results underscore the potential of the Rockall score as an effective tool for risk stratification and prognostication, with implications for guiding risk-appropriate management strategies and optimizing care for patients with ANVUGIB.
