Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Treatments for Non-Variceal Upper GI Bleeding: A Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Endoscopic injection of glues, clotting factors, or sclerosing agents is a well-known therapy for the treatment of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB), but less is known about endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided treatments. In this setting, literature data are scarce, and no randomized controlled trials are available. We performed a review of the existing literature in order to evaluate the role of EUS-guided therapies in the management of NVUGIB. The most common treated lesions were Dieulafoy's lesions, pancreatic pseudoaneurysms, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Mostly, the treatments were performed as a salvage option after failure of conventional endoscopic hemostatic attempts, showing good efficacy and a good safety profile, also documented by Doppler monitoring of treated lesions. EUS-guided therapies may be an effective option in the treatment of refractory NVUGIB, thus avoiding radiological or surgical management. Nevertheless, available literature still lacks robust data.

Project description:BackgroundNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease globally with an estimated prevalence of 25%, with the clinical and economic burden expected to continue to increase. In the United States, non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) has an estimated incidence of 61-78 cases per 100000 people with a mortality rate of 2%-15% based on co-morbidity burden.AimTo identify the outcomes of NVUGIB in NAFLD hospitalizations in the United States.MethodsWe utilized the National Inpatient Sample from 2016-2019 to identify all NVUGIB hospitalizations in the United States. This population was divided based on the presence and absence of NAFLD. Hospitalization characteristics, outcomes and complications were compared.ResultsThe total number of hospitalizations for NVUGIB was 799785, of which 6% were found to have NAFLD. NAFLD and GIB was, on average, more common in younger patients, females, and Hispanics than GIB without NAFLD. Interestingly, GIB was less common amongst blacks with NAFLD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted, controlling for the multiple covariates. The primary outcome of interest, mortality, was found to be significantly higher in patients with NAFLD and GIB [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.018 (1.013-1.022)]. Secondary outcomes of interest, shock [aOR = 1.015 (1.008-1.022)], acute respiratory failure [aOR = 1.01 (1.005-1.015)] and acute liver failure [aOR = 1.016 (1.013-1.019)] were all more likely to occur in this cohort. Patients with NAFLD were also more likely to incur higher total hospital charges (THC) [$2148 ($1677-$2618)]; however, were less likely to have a longer length of stay [0.27 d (0.17-0.38)]. Interestingly, in our study, the patients with NAFLD were less likely to suffer from acute myocardial infarction [aOR = 0.992 (0.989-0.995)]. Patients with NAFLD were not more likely to suffer acute kidney injury, sepsis, blood transfusion, intubation, or dialysis.ConclusionNVUGIB in NAFLD hospitalizations had higher inpatient mortality, THC, and complications such as shock, acute respiratory failure, and acute liver failure compared to those without NAFLD.
