Brindle WM et al. Risk stratifying gastric ulcers: development and validation of a scoring system. Frontline Gastroenterol. 2022;13:111-118. DOI: 10.1136/flgastro-2020-101759. PMID: 35295750. Age under 68 years scores 0, 68 through 79 years scores 1, and 80 years or older scores 2. Ulcer size under 1.25 cm scores 0, 1.25 through 2.99 cm scores 2, and 3.00 cm or larger scores 3. An antral ulcer, including pre-pyloric, scores 0 and a non-antral ulcer scores 1. The total runs from 0 to 6. The Youden cutoff on the derivation score was 3 or higher (sensitivity 72.0%, specificity 89.3%). In derivation, 78.0% of malignant ulcers scored 3 or higher and 15.8% of benign ulcers did (negative predictive value 97.4%, AUC 0.868). External validation AUC was 0.862, negative predictive value 98.6%, and 84.0% of malignant ulcers scored 3 or higher. (2022)
