AIMS65 Score for Upper GI Bleeding Mortality
Determines risk of in-hospital mortality from upper GI bleeding
Creatore
Dr. John Saltzman, MDIstruzioni
Designed to predict mortality in adults presenting with acute upper GI bleeding.
Does not rely on endoscopic data
Introduction
The AIMS65 score was designed to predict mortality in adults presenting with acute upper GI bleeding (Saltzman, 2011).
Simple calculation
Does not rely on endoscopic data
Highly predictive of mortality, cost and length of stay
Designed to predict mortality in adults presenting with acute upper GI bleeding.
Does not rely on endoscopic data
Criteria
There are 5 equally weighted risk factors that cumulatively predict severity of upper GI bleeding.
Albumin <3 g/dL (30 g/L)
INR > 1.5
Alteration in mental status
sBP ≤ 90 mm Hg
Age ≥ 65 years
Scoring
AIMS65 Score | In-hospital Mortality Rate |
0 | 0.3% |
1 | 1.2% |
2 | 5.3% |
3 | 10.3% |
4 | 16.5% |
5 | 24.5% |
Considerations
Validations studies demonstrate that AIMS65 is superior to the Glasgow-Blatchford Score (GBS) and the Pre-endoscopy Rockall Score for predicting in-hospital mortality, ICU admission, and Length of Stay (Robertson, 2016).
For low risk bleeding, a low AIMS65 score should not be used to dictate discharge (Yaka, 2015). The GBS has shown greater sensitivity and negative predictive value for low bleed risk.
GBS may be superior to the AIMS65 in predicting need for intervention or rebleeding (Stanley, 2017)
Albumin is the single most predictive factor of mortality of the 5 criteria.
