Insights
Active treatment for bleeding duodenal ulcers, especially large posterior wall ulcers, reduces relapses and improves outcomes. An individualized approach is key for managing acute gastrointestinal bleeding.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Gastroenterology
Context:
- Analysis of 493 patients with bleeding duodenal ulcers treated between 1995-1996.
- Focus on outcomes in patients with complicated duodenal ulcers.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment strategies for bleeding duodenal ulcers.
- To identify risk factors for relapse and mortality.
Summary:
- Overall lethality was 1.8%, with a postoperative lethality of 8.1% among 74 operated patients.
- Large posterior duodenal ulcers (>10mm) with significant blood loss had a 57.1% relapse rate.
- Urgent surgery (within 24 hours) on 30 patients resulted in only one death, contrasting with poor outcomes and complications (4.1%) from expectant policies.
Impact:
- Highlights the advantages of an active, individualized treatment approach for acute duodenal bleeding.
- Suggests that timely surgical intervention is crucial for specific patient subgroups.
- Informs clinical decision-making for managing complex duodenal ulcer cases.
Abstract:
Available are the results of treatment of 493 patients with duodenal ulcer complicated by bleeding in the center of gastro-intestinal bleedings at N. I. Pirogov City Hospital No. 1 in 1995-1996 years. 74 patients were operated. Overall lethality made up 1.8%, postoperative lethality rate--8.1%. In ulcer of posterior wall of the duodenum, 10 mm and more in diameter with blood loss of medium and high degree, the number of relapses made up 57.1%. In cases of urgent operations (n = 30); carried out on the first day of admittance to the hospital, 1 patient died. Expectant policy in treatment of patients with ulcer of posterior wall of the duodenum results in poor effect of the treatment and complications (4.1%). The advantages of active individual approach in treatment of patients with acute duodenal bleeding are outlined.
