Score is equal to "0" if the following are all present: 1. Hemoglobin level >12.9 g/dl (men) or >11.9 g/dl (women) 2. Systolic blood pressure >109 mm Hg 3. Pulse <100/minute 4. Blood urea nitrogen level <18.2 mg/dl 5. No melena or syncope 6. No past or present liver disease or heart failure In a study published in Lancet on January 3, 2009, 16% of patients presenting with UGIB had GBS score of "0", considered low. Among these patients there were no deaths or interventions needed and the patients were able to be effectively treated in an outpatient setting
