The aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index predicts upper gastrointestinal bleeding accurately.
Diagnostic accuracy was reported at 92.57% based on endoscopic findings in cirrhotic patients.
In this cross-sectional study, 350 patients aged 16-75 were evaluated to assess the APRI's performance.
The findings support the use of the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index as a screening tool.
