(a) Pancreatitis
(b) Sepsis
(c) Upper gastrointestinal bleeding
(d) Cholangitis
Show/Hide Answer
ANS- (c) Upper gastrointestinal bleeding
The advantage of the Blatchford score is that it may be used before endoscopy to predict the need for intervention to treat bleeding. Low scores (2 or less) are associated with a very low risk of adverse outcome.
