Purpose: After trauma and surgery, upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is the most common condition that can require massive transfusion (MT). The present study aimed to analyze and compare the prognostic performance of the Glasgow-Blatchford (GB), pre-endoscopy Rockall (PER), and modified early warning (MEW) scores for predicting MT in patients with unstable UGIB.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients with UGIB from March 2016 to February 2018.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kyeung Mi Lee"

  • - Kyeung Mi Lee's research predominantly focuses on assessing and improving the prognostic performance of scoring systems related to medical conditions, particularly in the context of massive transfusion requirements in unstable patients.
  • - In her 2019 study published in Yonsei Med Journal, Lee compared the effectiveness of the Glasgow-Blatchford, pre-endoscopy Rockall, and modified early warning scores specifically for predicting the need for massive transfusion in patients experiencing upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
  • - The findings from the retrospective observational study indicated significant insights into the risk assessment of massive transfusion needs, aiming to enhance clinical decision-making in emergency medical situations involving UGIB.
