ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The optimal management of bleeding peptic ulcer with adherent clot remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcome between endoscopic therapy and medical therapy. We also evaluated the risk factors of rebleeding in Forrest type IIB peptic ulcer. METHODS: Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding registry data from 8 hospitals in Korea between February 2011 and December 2013 were reviewed and categorized according to the Forrest classification. Patients with acute UGI bleeding from peptic ulcer with adherent clots were enrolled. RESULTS: Among a total of 1,101 patients diagnosed with peptic ulcer bleeding, 126 bleedings (11.4%) were classified as Forrest type IIB. Of the 126 patients with adherent clots, 84 (66.7%) received endoscopic therapy and 42 (33.3%) were managed with medical therapy alone. The baseline characteristics of patients in two groups were similar except for higher Glasgow Blatchford Score and pre-endoscopic Rockall score in medical therapy group. Bleeding related mortality (1.2% vs. 10%; p=0.018) and all cause mortality (3.7% vs. 20.0%; p=0.005) were significantly lower in the endoscopic therapy group. However, there was no difference between endoscopic therapy and medical therapy regarding rebleeding (7.1% vs. 9.5%; p=0.641). In multivariate analysis, independent risk factors of rebleeding were previous medication with aspirin and/or NSAID (OR, 13.1; p=0.025). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with Forrest type IIB peptic ulcer bleeding, endoscopic therapy was associated with a significant reduction in bleeding related mortality and all cause mortality compared with medical therapy alone. Important risk factor of rebleeding was use of aspirin and/or NSAID.

ABSTRACT

Vasculopathy is rarely reported in neurofibromatosis type 1, but when it occurs it primarily involves the aorta and its main branches. Among vasculopathies, aneurysmal dilatation is the most common form. Although several case reports concerning aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms of visceral arteries in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients have been reported, there are no reports describing gastroduodenal artery aneurysms associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. We experienced a case of life-threatening duodenal ulcer bleeding from a ruptured gastroduodenal artery aneurysm associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. We treated our patient by transarterial embolization after initial endoscopic hemostasis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its type. High levels of suspicion and prompt diagnosis are required to select appropriate treatment options for patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 experiencing upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Embolization of the involved arteries should be considered an essential treatment over endoscopic hemostasis alone to achieve complete hemostasis and to prevent rebleeding.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la incidencia y los factores asociados en la recurrencia de sangrado post terapia endoscópica con inyección de adrenalina en pacientes con sangrado ulceroso de un hospital de referencia nacional. Materiales y Métodos: Diseño analítico longitudinal. Se revisaron historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico de Hemorragia Digestiva Alta y con tratamiento endoscópico de inyección con adrenalina entre el 2005 y 2011 en el Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión, Perú. Se midieron las variables resangrado ulceroso, factores de riesgo pre-endoscópicos y endoscópicos. Los datos obtenidos fueron sometidos a un análisis bivariado (X2, Test exacto de Fisher y RR) y a un análisis multivariado. Resultados: Se incluyeron 111 pacientes. La incidencia de resangrado fue de 20,7%. El análisis multivariado reveló que el sangrado activo (p=0,002) y el uso de anticoagulantes (p=0,035) fueron variables asociadas con resangrado. Conclusión: La incidencia de resangrado fue de 20,7% y los factores asociados fueron Sangrado Activo y el uso de anticoagulantes.


Aim: to determine the incidence and associated factors with Upper Gastrointestinal bleeding after injection therapy with adrenaline in a general hospital. Methods: Study design: longitudinal and analytic. Clinical records of patients with Upper Gastrointestinal bleeding who received injection therapy with adrenalin during 2005 and 2011 in Daniel Alcides Carrion Hospital, Peru were reviewed. Rebleeding and pre-endoscopic and endoscopic associated factors were sought. A bivariate (Chi Square, Fisher Exact test and RR) and multivariate analysis were performed. Results: A total of 111 patients were included. Rebleeding rate was 20.7%. Multivariate analysis showed active bleeding (p=0.002) and anticoagulant drugs (p=0.035) were associated with rebleeding. Conclusion: Rebleeding rate was 20,7% and active bleeding as well as anticoagulant drugs use were associated factors.

ABSTRACT

We report a 22 years old male with chronic allergic rhinitis, who presented with asthma, prolonged fever, eosinophilia, cutaneous vasculitis, subcutaneous nodules, polyarthritis, ulcers in the nasal mucosa and external auditory canal, hematuria, proteinuria, renal failure, severe hypertension, pulmonary infiltrates and mesenteric ischemia with a perforation of the sigmoid colon. Arteriography showed multiple aneurysmae of intrarenal arteries and a skin biopsy showed a leukocytoclastic vasculitis. A diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome was made. He was initially treated with steroids and cyclophosphamide but abandoned therapy. Eighteen years after the onset of the disease, he required hemodialysis. Eight months after being on dialysis, he suffered a reactivation of the disease with lung hemorrhage and finally died, due to an upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by a duodenal ulcer.

ABSTRACT

Peptic ulcer bleeding remains an important emergency situation with a high incidence and carries significant morbidity and mortality. Current evidence suggests that H. pylori and NSAIDs increase the risk of peptic ulcer bleeding and these two factors seem to act independently. Testing for, and cure of, H. pylori infection is recommended in patients prior to the initiation of NSAID therapy and in those who are currently receiving NSAIDs and have a history of peptic ulcer bleeding. For patients who present with peptic ulcer bleeding but require NSAIDs long-term, H. pylori eradication therapy should be considered, followed by continuous proton pump inhibitor prophylaxis to prevent re-bleeding, regardless of which kind of NSAID (nonselective NSAID/coxib) is being prescribed. The success of eradication should always be confirmed because of the risk of peptic ulcer recurrences and bleeding complication.

ABSTRACT

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding--UGB-, as a complication, is well studied at intensive care units (ICU), but is less known in non ICU settings. Objectives: To determine incidence and risk factors of this entity at clinical hospitalization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case-control study of patients with gastric ulcer disease diagnosed by endoscopy who presented with melena and hematemesis. Ten controls were taken for each case, matching sex, age and prophylaxis for gastric hemorrhage. Demographic data and other know risks factors were analyzed. RESULT: We found ten bleeding case among 35070 discharges (incidence: 2.8/10000 discharges). Mortality was not increased but the number of transfusion was higher in the bleeding group. We found an assocciation betwen UGB and systemic inflammatory response syndrome--SIRS-(OR: 9.22 IC 95% 2.98-28.17) and diabetes (OR: 7.8 IC 95% 2.3-26.8). The rest of the factors studied did not rich a statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: UGB during clinical hospitalization is a rare complication that requires an increased staying at hospital and a great number of transfusions. It may be probably associated in a positive way with diabetes and SIRS.


La hemorragia digestiva alta durante la internación es una complicación estudiada en unidades de cuidados críticos, pero se sabe poco de esta complicación en sala común. Objetivos: determinar la incidencia y factores de riesgo de esta patología en sala común. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio casocontrol. Definimos casos, pacientes con endoscopía digestiva realizada por melena o hematemesis, con diagnóstico de enfermedad ulcerosa, se tomaron 10 controles por caso, controlando edad, sexo y uso de profilaxis ulcerosa. Se analizaron datos demográficos y factores de riesgo conocidos para esta patología y se determinó la incidencia en sala común. Resultados: Se produjeron 10 episodios de sangrado sobre 35070 altas (Incidencia 2.8110.000 altas). No hubo mayor mortalidad en los casos pero si requirieron mayor número de transfusiones (1.2 versus (vs) 0.07 paquetes de glóbulos rojos sedimentados en el grupo control. P=O.OOl) y tuvieron una mayor estadía hospitalaria (13.6 vs 6.8 días en el grupo control. P=O.OOl). Existió una asociación significativa entre hemorragia digestiva y presentar SIRS (aR: 9.22 IC95%: 2.9828.17) o Diabetes (aR: 7.8 IC95%: 2.326.8), el resto de los factores no alcanzaron significancia estadística. Conclusión: La hemorragia digestiva durante la internación es una entidad poco frecuente que requiere mayor estadía hospitalaria y necesidad de transfusiones. Asociada posiblemente en forma positiva al ingreso con SIRS, Diabetes, leucocitosis y taquicardia.

ABSTRACT

Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) may be involved in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcers through suppression of fibrinolysis. This study was designed to investigate associations of t-PA and PAI-1 genes with clinical features of the patients with bleeding gastric ulcers. Eighty-four patients with peptic ulcers and 100 controls were studied between January 1998 and April 2000. We used polymerase chain reaction and endonuclease digestion to genotype for 4G/5G polymorphism in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene and the Alurepeat insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in intron h of the t-PA gene. Various clinical features, including lesion site, bleeding event, recurrence of ulcer, and rebleeding, were assessed using a multiple logistic regression model. The genotype distributions of both the t-PA and PAI-1 genes did not differ between the patient and control groups. The occurrence of the I/D or D/D genotype of t-PA was significantly higher in cases of duodenal ulcer (adjusted OR=4.39, 95% CI=1.12-17.21). When a dominant effect (i.e., 4G/4G or 4G/5G versus 5G/5G) of the 4G allele was assumed, the PAI-1 4G/4G genotype was independently associated with rebleeding after hemostasis (adjusted OR=5.07, 95% CI=1.03-24.87). Our data suggest that t-PA gene polymorphism is associated with duodenal ulcers, and that the PAI-1 gene may be a risk factor leading to recurrent bleeding after initial hemostasis.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Conocer la frecuencia de complicaciones intraabdominales y su impacto en la supervivencia de pacientes sujetos a DCP para procedimientos quirúrgicos comunes a corazón abierto. Antecedentes. Las complicaciones gastrointestinales después de cirugía cardiaca con derivación cardiopulmonar, tienen incidencia del 0.3 al 3 por ciento, pero la mortalidad puede sobrepasar 60 por ciento. Pese a las mejorías en el cuidado pre, trans, y posoperatorio, la impresión general ha sido que las complicaciones abdominales permanecen como un problema significativo. Tipo de Estudio. Retrospectivo de casos y controles. Material y métodos. Pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cirugía cardiaca con derivación cardiopulmonar, entre marzo de 1995 y marzo de 1997. Se identificó cualquier complicación abdominal, su diagnóstico, manejo médico o quirúrgico y mortalidad. Resultados. Se estudiaron 1,352 pacientes de los cuales 516 fueron operados por revascularización coronaria (38 por ciento), 502 (37 por ciento) por reemplazo valvular, 68 (5.2 por ciento) una combinación de reemplazo valvular y revascularización, 144 (10.6 por ciento) corrección de defectos congénitos, y 122 (9.6 por ciento) tratados por padecimientos diversos. Desarrollaron complicaciones 44 pacientes (3.3 por ciento) y éstas fueron íleo intestinal posoperatorio en 14 casos (32 por ciento), la mitad de ellos tuvo hiperamilasemia. Las complicaciones hepatobiliares representaron 29.5 por ciento (13 casos). Diez pacientes (22.7 por ciento) tuvieron enfermedad ulceropéptica complicada con hemorragia o perforación. La pandreatitis aguda grave se observó en 4.5 por ciento de los casos al igual en dos pacientes con necrosis intestinal. Tres casos presentaron complicaciones quirúrgicas no relacionadas con DCP y fueron traumatismo hepático grado I, apendicitis aguda y colitis amibiana. La mortalidad fue de 11/44 (25 por ciento). Como grupo control, se analizaron 73 pacientes operados el día o alrededor de los días como los del grupo de estudio y que no desarrollaron complicaciones gastrointestinales. La mortalidad en este grupo fue de 5/73 (6.8 por ciento). ...

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes. La UG y UD presentan hemorragia en 25 por ciento de los pacientes es una de las principales causas de hospitalización. Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia de UP con HTDA, por sexo y edad, cuantificar su estancia hospitalaria, su asociación con factores de riesgo y su variación estacional. Método. Se analizaron los egresos hospitalarios durante el periodo de 1991 a 1997; se determinó la tasa de prevalencia ajustada por sexo y edad por 1000 egresos. Se cuantificó su estancia hospitalaria y costo por pacientes. Se investigaron las manifestaciones de hemorragia y la presencia de tabaquismo, etilismo e ingestión de AINE's. Análisis estadístico. Chi cuadrada y t de Student. Resultados. La tasa de prevalencia anual fue de 46.8/1000 egresos hospitalarios. Predominó en la sexta y octava décadas de la vida, con predominio en el sexo femenino (PNS) y durante los meses de mayo, junio y noviembre. La estancia hospitalaria promedio fue de 4.2 días y el costo diario fue de $1,520.00. En 275 pacientes con HTDA fueron del sexo masculino 66 por ciento y la edad promedio de 57 años, la frecuencia de factores de riesgo como tabaquismo (52 por ciento), etilismo (40 por ciento), AINE's (44 por ciento), se observaron con más frecuencia en los pacientes del IMSS (p<0.05). Melena y hematemesis se encontraron en 64 por ciento y 36 por ciento de los casos respectivamente. La UG (41 por ciento) fue más frecuente que la UD (40 por ciento) (PNS). Conclusiones. Se observó una tasa de 46.8/1000 egresos, predominó en mayores de 60 años y en sexo masculino. La UG fue más frecuente y el tabaquismo se asoció en la mayoría de los casos de UP y HTDA

ABSTRACT

La Hemorragia digestiva alta (HDA) en pacientes trasplantados renales constituye un cuadro de gravedad no solo por poner en riesgo la vida del paciente, sino la funcionalidad del injerto. Se han documentado cuatro casos (1,2 por ciento) de HDA en pacientes trasplantados renales con riñon funcionante sobre un total de 340 trasplantes en 328 pacientes desde el advenimiento de la ciclosporina como droga inmunosupresora en el país en enero de 1986 hasta el 11 de abril de 1996. No hubo defunciones ni pérdidas del injerto directamente vinculadas a la HDA. La baja incidencia de HDA estaria relacionada a la profilaxis perioperatoria con bloqueantes H2 y a la rigurosa selección de los receptores. La cirugía profiláctica pre trasplante no está indicada. El tratamiento quirúrgico esta indicado en los casos refractarios a la terapéutica médica. El adecuado tratamiento y profilaxis de cualquier patología causante de una potencial HDA, especialmente la enfermedad ulceropéptica, y la selección de los pacientes receptores aseguran un trasplante renal con muy baja incidencia de complicaciones hemorrágicas esofagogastroduodenales

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho sobre atualizaçäo de úlcera por estresse focaliza os fatores de riscos, patogenia, métodos de detecçäo e, principalmente, a profilaxia. Muitos progressos foram alcançados na profilaxia do sangramento digestivo alto, com o advento de novos agentes redutores da acidez e das drogas citoprotetoras. Assim, foi obtida uma significativa reduçäo na incidência de hemorragia digestiva clinicamente evidenciável. Embora todos os tratamentos tenham se mostrado eficazes, notamos maior freqüência de pneumonia nosocomial no grupo de pacientes que utilizou redutores da acidez gástrica (antiácidos e bloqueadores H2). Por fim, pudemos comprovar que a maioria dos sangramentos cessa apenas com tratamento clínico, posto que as técnicas endoscópicas e angiográficas säo pouco úteis, em funçäo da natureza difusa desses sangramentos.
