Description
Busara Charoenwat and co-authors test a triage score for bleeding children in a 2026 cohort study from Thailand. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can kill, and endoscopy is both the best treatment and an invasive step, so a score that predicts which children truly need it is valuable.
Over eight years, twenty-eight children with such bleeding were assessed with the Sheffield scoring system at a tertiary hospital. Three quarters scored above the cut-off, and nearly all who needed endoscopic treatment to stop bleeding sat in that high group. Portal hypertension was the commonest underlying cause, and swollen esophageal veins the commonest finding.
