AIMS65 calculator: in-hospital mortality risk for upper GI bleeding
Estimate in-hospital mortality risk for upper GI bleeding with 5 AIMS65 criteria: albumin, INR, mental status, BP, age.
About this calculator
AIMS65 was proposed by Saltzman in 2011 for rapid prognosis in upper GI bleeding in the ER before endoscopy. Five binary criteria, 1 point each: albumin <30 g/L, INR >1.5, altered mental status (GCS <14), SBP ≤90 mmHg, age >65. Score ≥2 carries 10–25% in-hospital mortality and prompts early endoscopy (within 12 h). It ignores haemoglobin and endoscopic findings – used for triage.
