Filter by:In managing bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers, endoscopic control of bleeding is the first line treatment-further bleeding after endoscopic hemostasis is associated with a 3-fold increase in mortality. Large ulcer size (> 20 mm) predicts further bleeding. These ulcers erode into arteries of significant size (>2 mm) from either the gastro-duodenal or left gastric arterial complexes. An over-the-scope clip is an endoscopic clamp device with a high tensile strength. It can compress sizeable arteries, and firmly anchor onto the ulcer base avoiding recurrent bleeding from clip dislodgement. It therefore offers secure and durable hemostasis. In the proposed randomized controlled trial, the investigators hypothesize that after initial endoscopic control of bleeding from large gastro-duodenal ulcers (20 mm in size or more), adding an OTSC can prevent recurrent bleeding and improve patients' outcomes. Investigators enroll patients with bleeding from large ulcers as defined. After initial endoscopic control of bleeding using injection with diluted epinephrine, these patients are randomized, during endoscopy, to receive standard treatment (thermo-coagulation or hemo-clips) or an added OTSC. The primary endpoint is recurrent bleeding over 30 days confirmed on endoscopy. Secondary endpoints include the need for rescue treatment; endoscopic, angiographic embolization or surgery, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, hospitalization, and bleeding related and all-cause mortality.
Endoscopic treatment is recommended for initial hemostasis in nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. However, the additional hemostatic efficacy of argon plasma coagulation (APC) has not been widely investigated. We designed a randomized trial comparing APC plus injection therapy vs hemoclipping plus injection therapy for peptic ulcer bleeding.
Find out if there is a significant difference between clinical outcome among the patients with bleeding peptic ulcer treated with oral omeprazole compared to those treated with intravenous omeprazole.
To compare in a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled trial the efficacy and safety of OTSC versus TTS clip for first-line hemostasis of high risk bleeding peptic ulcers
This study aimed to validate CU prediction model on mortality for patients with high risk bleeding peptic ulcers after therapeutic endoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a computerised decision-support tool used in general practice, can reduce the frequency of peptic ulcer bleeding related to the use of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal-antiinflammatory-drug) and ASA( Acetylsalicylic acid) . On the basis of "The Danish general medical database" it is possible to develope a computerised decision-support tool, which enables the general practitioner (GP) in a "pop-up" window to get information on each patients risk-factors, when prescribing NSAID and aspirin to a patient at risk. This will give the general practitioner the oppurtunity to choose a different type of preparation or prescribe ulcer-preventive medicine at the same time. The decision-support tool will be tested in a randomized trial among general practitioners. The aim is to reduce the occurence of peptic ulcer bleeding. The expected outcome is a reduction in half of the total numbers of peptic ulcers.
To describe the rate of clinically significant rebleeding during 72 hours continuous i.v. infusion of high dose esomeprazole Na in patients in China with primary successful endoscopic haemostatic therapy of a bleeding peptic ulcer, with cimetidine i.v. in
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is one of the commonest medical emergencies. The condition accounts for 150 per 100,000 populations. A National United Kingdom reported a crude overall mortality rate of 10%. While bleeding stops spontaneously in majority of patients at their presentation, there remains a subgroup of patients who continue to bleed or develop recurrent bleeding. In these patients, the mortality increases manifolds. If these high-risk patients can be identified, early interventions may improve their outcomes. Several prognostic indices are in use for the purpose of patient stratification. They include the Rockall, Glasgow-Blatchford (GBS) and the Baylor scores. The Rockall score is a composite score which incorporates clinical parameters as well as findings during endoscopy which was derived to predict mortality. The GBS is a pre-endoscopy or a clinical score for the prediction for the need of further intervention loosely defined as the need for transfusion, endoscopy or surgery. It has been shown to be accurate in identifying low risk patients for early discharge.
