<unk>  risk<unk> ng system attempts to identify patients at risk of adverse outcome following acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.<unk>  et al. identified independent risk factors in 1996 which were later shown to predict mortality accurately. The<unk> ng system uses clinical criteria (increasing age, co-morbidity, shock) as well as endoscopic finding (diagnosis, stigmata of acute bleeding). It is named for Professor Tim<unk> , who was the main investigator and first author of the studies that led to its formulation. A convenient mnemonic is ABCDE - i.e. Age, Blood pressure fall (shock), Co-morbidity, Diagnosis and Evidence of bleeding.
