AB Content  Update:  Oakland  Score  as  risk  tool  for  LGI  Bleeding  July  2020The  Oakland  Score  has  been  validated  in  a  retrospective  study  of  46,128  patients  at  140  US  hospitals.  A  score  of  ≤  8  has  a  sensitivity  of  98.4%  and  specificity  of  16%  for  safe  discharge  of  patients  with  LGI  bleeding.  Although  the  Oakland  score  can  help  risk  stratify  patients  with  LGI  bleeding  for  discharge,  clinical  judgement  along  with  shared  decision  making  should  be  used  for  final  disposition.  See  the  risk  score  and  discussion  under  Disposition  and  Followup.
