Abstract :Background/aim: To investigate the correlation between the Glasgow-Blatchford score, shock index, and Forrest classification in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding PUB . Materials and methods: A total of 955 patients with PUB were assessed using the Glasgow-Blatchford score and shock index, as well as the Forrest classification based on their gastroscopy results. The correlation between the Glasgow-Blatchford score and shock index was determined using scatter plot analysis, and the correlation between the Glasgow-Blatchford score or shock index and Forrest classification was determined using Spearman's analysis. Results: Both the Glasgow-Blatchford score and shock index showed the highest values in patients with Forrest class IIa. The GlasgowBlatchford score was significantly higher than patients with Forrest class Ib/IIc/III P < 0.05 , and the shock index was significantly higher than patients with Forrest class Ib/IIb/III P < 0.05 . A positive correlation was observed between the Glasgow-Blatchford score and shock index, at r = 0.427 P < 0.001 . A negative correlation was observed between the Glasgow-Blatchford score and Forrest classification, at r = -0.111 P < 0.01 , and between the shock index and Forrest classification, at r = -0.138 P < 0.01 . Conclusion: A moderate correlation was observed between the Glasgow-Blatchford score and shock index in patients with PUB, and the correlation between the Forrest classification and Glasgow-Blatchford score or shock index was relatively low.Keywords : Peptic ulcer hemorrhage, Glasgow-Blatchford score, shock index, endoscopy
