The upper @entity360 is still an everyday problem. 40-50% of these bleedings are originating from peptic @entity1066 . The rate of rebleeding after initial hemostasis is 30-50%. In this group of @entity1 we can observe the highest morbidity and mortality. The aim of this work is to select those @entity1 who belong to the high risk group from the point of rebleeding. For this purpose we introduced after a retrospective analysis the modified Baylor score. In this scoring system the age, the number and severity of parallel illnesses, the hemostatus by the admittance, the @entity1066 size and location and the stigmata of recent @entity548 are taken into consideration. On the basis of this every @entity1 gets a score between 0 and 31. Based on our retrospective analysis we could establish three grades of risk groups: low risk (0-7), middle risk (8-11) and high risk (12 and over). In the low risk group there was no rebleeding. In the middle risk group we observed 4 rebleedings in 19 @entity1 , while in the high risk group there were 32 rebleedings out of 36 cases. As a conclusion we can state, that the modified Baylor score is capable for the selection of high risk @entity1 for rebleeding. With the early elective operations in these cases the high morbidity and mortality can be reduced.
