Introduction

This model predicts the risk of transfusion following a lower GI bleed. The model was constructed using anonymous data from patients presenting with acute lower GI bleeds to the A&E department at The West Middlesex University Hospital. As such the results may vary for other hospitals. The model was developed by Mr Jonathan Wilson (now Consultant Surgeon at The Whittington Hospital) & Mr Jason Smith (Consultant Surgeon, West Middlesex University Hospital).

 

THIS MODEL IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
