CHAMPS score

A mortality rate in acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is 2%-10%. The "CHAMPS score" is a prediction score for in-hospital mortality in patients with nonvariceal UGIB. This score comprises six variables (in-hospital onset, serum albumin less than 2.5 g/dL, altered mental status, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥2, steroids, and Charlson comorbidity index ≥2) with equal-weight scores. The patients were categorized into three risk categories: low (0 points: 0.2% risk), intermediate (1-2 points: 2.3%), and high (≥3 points: 26.5%). * The Charlson comorbidity index is a method of predicting mortality by weighting comorbidities (Charlson ME, et al. J Chronic Dis. 1987; 40:373-83.). For more information, see the reference below.
