Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of follow-up treatment compliance on prognosis after gastroesophageal varices treated under endoscopy.Methods Up to 416 liver cirrhosis patients after gastroesophageal varices treated under endoscopy were follow-up and divided into compliance group and control group according to whether the patients had follow-up treatment compliance condition.The factors caused the difference of follow-up treatment compliance were analyzed.The differences in the follow-up indexes such as rebleeding,mortality,rehospitalization were compared between the two groups.The differences in indexes between two groups were stratifiedly analyzed according to liver function Child-Pugh classification.Chi-square four data table test was for two independent samples comparison.Results The differences of education level,income and the medical condition of residential area determined the difference of follow-up compliance.After gastroesophageal varices patients treated under endoscopy,the total rebleeding rate was 35.1 % (146/416) and and the mortality rate was 9.4% (39/416).The rebleeding rate and mortality rate of the compliance group were significantly lower than those of control group (26.1% (61/234) vs 46.7%(85/182),x2=19.137,P<0.01; 6.4%(15/234) vs 13.2%(24/182),x2=5.533,P=0.019).Among the 273 Child-Pugh A level patients,the detection rate of liver cancer (3.7%,10/273),liver transplantation rate (3.7%,10/273),splenectomy plus portal azygous disconnection rate (6.6%,18/ 273) of compliance group were higher than those of control group (x2 =4.086,P =0.043; x2 =4.086,P=0.043; x2 =5.515,P=0.019).Among the 102 Child-Pugh B level patients,there were statistical differences between compliance group and control group in rebleeding rate (x2 =21.297,P<0.01),motality (x2=3.525,P=0.042),ascites (x2=4.451,P=0.035),life quality (x2 =10.454,P=0.001) and liver function (x2 =8.197,P=0.004).However,there were no statistical differences in all indexes between the two groups of Child-Pugh C level patients (all P>0.05).Conclusion To improve the follow-up treatment compliance remarkably,decreased the rebleeding rate and mortality,contributed to early detection of liver cancer and early liver transplatation,thus the prognosis was improved consequently.
