RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Primary prophylaxis of bleeding is debated in children with gastroesophageal varices; one of the reasons is the limited number of studies concerning its efficacy and safety. We report our experience with endoscopic primary prophylaxis. METHODS: From 2006 to 2019, 145 children (median age, 3.5 years; cirrhosis, n = 116) with high-risk gastroesophageal varices underwent primary prophylaxis (banding, n = 114; sclerotherapy n = 31, primarily in smaller children). RESULTS: We observed the eradication of varices in 93% of children after a mean of 6 months, at least one recurrence of varices in 45% after eradication, and gastrointestinal bleeding in 17% of children. Irrespective of the cause of portal hypertension, grade 3 esophageal varices, presence of gastric varices along the cardia and a lower composite score of endoscopic severity were associated with a worse probability of eradication, a longer time to eradication and a lower risk of a first recurrence and of bleeding following the procedure, respectively. Ten-year probabilities of overall survival and of bleeding-free survival were 95% and 75%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding is reasonably effective and safe in children with high-risk gastroesophageal varices. Worse results are observed in children with more advanced endoscopic features. This pleads for endoscopic screening in children with portal hypertension and early detection of varices warranting primary prophylaxis.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Neonatal and infant anaesthesia are associated with a high risk of perioperative complications. The aim of the current study was to describe those risks in France using the French data from the NECTARINE study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data from the French centres that participated to the NECTARINE study were analysed. The primary goal of the study was the description of patients' characteristics, procedures and perioperative management and their comparison with the results of the European NECTARINE study. Secondary outcomes were the description of major perioperative complications and death. RESULTS: Overall, 926 procedures collected in 15 centres (all teaching hospitals) were analysed. Comparison between the French and European NECTARINE cohorts found few differences related to patients' characteristics and procedures. The rate of interventions for critical events (respiratory, haemodynamic, and metabolic) was similar between the two cohorts. Near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring was used in 12% of procedures. Nearly none of the thresholds for these interventions met the published standards. By day 30, complications (respiratory, haemodynamic, metabolic, renal, and liver failure) and death were observed in 14.4% [95% CI 11.6-16.4]% and 1.8% [95% CI 1.1-2.9] of cases, respectively. DISCUSSION: Although the health status of the patients in the French cohort was less severe, procedures, management and postoperative complications and mortality rates were similar to the European cohort. However, thresholds for interventions were often inadequate in both cohorts. Efforts should be undertaken to improve the knowledge and use of new monitoring devices in this population.
