AIMS65 is a simple bedside risk score for upper GI bleeding severity. It includes Albumin below 3.0 g/dL, INR above 1.5, altered Mental status, Systolic BP at or below 90 mmHg, and Age 65 years or older.
Formula: AIMS65 = sum of 5 binary criteria (0-5 total).
Higher AIMS65 totals indicate greater short-term mortality risk in upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Use AIMS65 at initial evaluation of suspected upper GI bleeding to support triage, monitoring intensity, and early disposition planning.
AIMS65 is a prognostic aid and does not replace clinical judgment or therapeutic endoscopy planning. Performance can vary across populations and care settings.
For related assessments, see Glasgow-Blatchford, Rockall Score and Child-Pugh Score.

Calculate the Glasgow-Blatchford score to identify low-risk upper GI bleed patients. Score 0–1: safe for outpatient endoscopy without admission. Higher scores guide urgency and ICU level of care.
GastroenterologyCalculate the Rockall score to predict rebleeding and mortality in upper GI hemorrhage. Pre-endoscopy score ≤2: low risk for rebleeding. Post-endoscopy score 0: <5% rebleeding risk.
ClinicalCalculate the Child-Pugh score to classify the severity of chronic liver disease and estimate prognosis. Uses bilirubin, albumin, INR, ascites, and encephalopathy.
ClinicalCalculate the MELD and MELD-Na scores to assess liver disease severity and transplant priority. Uses bilirubin, INR, creatinine, and sodium.
