Age-to-Glasgow Coma Scale score ratio predicts gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage

Abstract: ObjectiveRecent clinical studies have demonstrated that advanced age and low initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score were independent predictors of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, used singly, age and GCS score have their respective shortcomings in predicting the occurrence of GIB. This study aimed to investigate the association between the age-to-initial GCS score ratio (AGR) and the risk of GIB following ICH.MethodsWe conducted a single-center,… Show more

“…GCS score can be utilized for the identi cation not only of high-risk cases but also in discerning underlying neurological diseases. This underscores the dual utility of the GCS score in not just assessing risk but also aiding in the determination of the root cause [22].…”

“…Among these, Age stood out for its nuanced impact in our older population, suggesting that its predictive value might be surpassed by other determinants in individuals over 65 years old. The analysis also underscored the importance of other variables like ICH [ 18 , 19 ], eGFR [ 20 ] and Peptic Ulcer Bleeding [ 21 ], with renal function indicating significant implications for UGIB outcomes and Peptic Ulcer Bleeding presenting more frequently than variceal bleeding [ 22 ]. The variability in risk associated with these conditions underscores the heterogeneity of UGIB patient outcomes, necessitating a tailored approach to risk stratification.…”

“…It's noteworthy that Age, Liver Diseases, and HGB, which were present in both the GBS and RS scores, were also consistently identi ed across a substantial body of research, underscoring their signi cance in predicting outcomes.Age's in uence, a pivotal prognostic factor in various medical contexts, demonstrated a nuanced impact in our population, indicating its potential to be outweighed by other factors for individuals over 65 years old. The presence of UGIB often coincides with ICH, linked to heightened mortality risk and prolonged stays in the ICU [20,21].Some studies found that renal function, as exempli ed by eGFR, emerged as a critical marker and was indicative of poorer UGIB outcomes [22]. Furthermore, the prevalence of Peptic Ulcer Bleeding outweighed that of variceal bleeding.…”
