Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score (GAHS)
Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score (Forrest 2005): from age, WBC, urea, INR, and bilirubin; ≥ 9 identifies the higher-mortality cohort in which corticosteroids showed benefit.

Example
- Age
- 55
- White-cell count
- 16
- Urea
- 8
- INR
- 2.2
- Bilirubin
- 300
Result: GAHS 12/12: 9 or more -- higher 28/84-day mortality, the cohort in which corticosteroids showed benefit.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Threshold
- 9 or more marks higher 28/84-day mortality and the cohort in which corticosteroids showed benefit.
What you enter
- Age (years)
- White-cell count (×10⁹/L)
- Urea (mmol/L)
- INR
- Bilirubin (µmol/L)
How this is calculated
- Items
- age (< 50 / >= 50), WBC (< 15 / >= 15), urea mmol/L (< 5 / >= 5), INR (< 1.5 / 1.5-2.0 / > 2.0), bilirubin umol/L (< 125 / 125-250 / > 250); total 5-12. SI units, not BUN or mg/dL.
