Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) for risk assessment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients taking enteric-coated aspirin.Methods:Clinical data of elderly patients taking enteric-coated aspirin and undergoing MCCE from January 2018 to December 2020 in Beijing Chaoyang and Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed. Patients were divided into low-risk group (scores ≤ 3) and moderate/high risk group (scores >3) to study the risk assessment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients taking enteric-coated aspirin.Results:A total of 66 patients (aged 60-81 years, 45 males and 21 females) were enrolled and 17 patients developed bleeding. The indicators of low-risk ( n=51) and moderate/high risk groups ( n=15) were as follows: the incidences of upper gastrointestinal bleeding were 17.6% and 53.3%( P<0.001), gastric ulcer 5.9% and 26.7% ( P<0.001), median gastric Lanza score 2.0 and 2.0( P=0.621), duodenal ulcer 2.0% and 18.8% ( P<0.001), median duodenal mucosal injury score 1.0 and 1.0( P=0.936), respectively. Receiver operator characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of risk assessment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients taking enteric-coated aspirin by MCCE was 0.855. Conclusion:Risk assessment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients taking enteric-coated aspirin can be used to predict the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, but the scoring rules need to be further improved. Moderate and high-risk patients should undergo MCCE to monitor aspirin related upper gastrointestinal mucosal injury.
