Study population: All patients referred to the Endoscopy Unit of ICESP because of upper gastrointestinal bleeding will be included consecutively, according to the selection criteria mentioned below. The analysis of our recent data base allows us to estimate an accrual of about 300 patients at the end of 1 year of study.
Who may be able to join
- Confirmed diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of any site, either located inside or outside of GI tract;
- Current evidence of bleeding in the last 48 hours, either by presenting hematemesis and/or melena, with or without hemodynamic instability. Patients with hematochezia or bright red blood per rectum due to a site of bleeding in upper GI tract will also be included.
Who cannot join
- Age < 18 years-old;
- Suspicion or confirmation of pregnancy.
- Patients with no evidence of malignant neoplasm after curative surgery or oncologic therapy.

About this study
Official title: Comparison Among the Scores of Glasgow-Blacthford, Rockall and AIMS65 for the Prediction of Rebleeding and Mortality in Patients With Cancer and Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
This is a prospective and observational study to evaluate oncologic patients that presented upper gastrointestinal bleeding with the use of some prognostic scores.
Read the detailed description
Background: Cancer incidence is rising worldwide, therefore complications of this condition, such as bleeding, are also expected to be more frequently seen.
Tumoral bleeding is usually difficult to control and the bleeding episode may represent the end stage of the malignant disease. In this context, it is relevant to study the performance of prognostic scores to prediction of clinical outcomes in patients with cancer.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the performance of prognostic scores to predict clinical outcomes in a group of patients with cancer of any site that has presented a recent episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
Design: Prospective and observational study. Setting: Cancer Institute of São Paulo; University of são Paulo. Patients: All patients with cancer referred to the Endoscopy Unit because of upper gastrointestinal bleeding will be included consecutively.
Main Outcome Measurements: need and amount of blood transfusions administered, need for endoscopic therapy, surgery, rebleeding, and mortality at 30 days.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Upper gastrointestinal bleeding | patients with cancer who presented or were admitted in the emergency room, wards or intensive care units of the Cancer Institute of São Paulo (ICESP), with a recent episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
blood transfusions administered
The need and amount of blood transfusions administered
Measured: 30 days
Endoscopic therapy
Hemostatic endoscopic therapy will be performed if there are findings of active or recent bleeding, under conscious or deep sedation after hemodynamic stabilization and oral fasting
Measured: 30 days
Surgery
need for surgery to control tumour bleeding
Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 30 days
rebleeding
episodes of rebleeding
Measured: 30 days
mortality
mortality
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Finding the cut-off value of highest sensitivity and specificity of Rockall, Glasgow-Blatchford and AIMS65 scores employing the receiver operating curve (ROC).
find the cut-off value of highest sensitivity and specificity of Rockall, Glasgow-Blatchford and AIMS65 scores for discriminant selection of a low-risk group, if one exists, among patients with recent upper gastrointestinal bleeding and cancer with confirmed diagnosis, located inside or outside the GI tract, who could be managed on an outpatient basis.
Measured: 1 year
