Influencing factors of postoperative bleeding in endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection for early gastric cancer / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the possible influencing factors of postoperative bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection ( ESD/EMR) for early gastric cancer. Methods Clinical data of patients receiving ESD/EMR for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer at the Endoscopy Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2013 to May 2018, including demographic information ( age, gender and history ) , endoscopic lesion characteristics ( tumor size, location and morphology) and postoperative pathological features ( differentiated types and invasive depth) were collected to analyze the effects of these factors on bleeding after ESD/EMR. Results A total of 195 patients with early gastric cancer were included in the study and 9 cases ( 4. 6％) had postoperative bleeding. The medication history of clopidogrel and main lesion sizes were statistically different between postoperative bleeding group and non-bleeding group ( P=0. 018 and P=0. 034 ) . Multivariate analysis showed a history of clopidogrel ( OR=10. 223, 95％CI1. 143-91. 468, P= 0. 038 ) , multiple lesions ( OR= 6. 412, 95％CI1. 123-36. 616, P=0. 037) and lesions sizes of larger than 2 cm ( OR=6. 718, 95％CI1. 130-39. 935, P=0. 036) were possible risk factors for postoperative bleeding. Survival analysis showed of higher postoperative bleeding risks in patients with the history of clopidogrel ( P<0. 001) and lesions sizes of more than 2 cm ( P=0. 022) . Conclusion More attention should be paid to the risk of ESD/EMR postoperative bleeding in early gastric cancer patients with medication history of clopidogrel and multiple large lesions.
