Abstract

Clinical efficacy of octreotide acetate combined with thrombin in the treatment of liver cirrhosis complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage was investigated. A retrospective analysis of 157 patients with liver cirrhosis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted to Weifang People's Hospital from March 2012 to September 2014 was performed. Among them, 74 patients treated with octreotide acetate were enrolled into the octreotide group, and 83 patients treated with octreotide acetate combined with thrombin were enrolled into the combination group. Comparison between the two groups was made in terms of the average hemostasis time, the hospitalization time, the amount of blood transfusion during hospitalization, the efficacy of hemostasis and visual analog scale (VAS) scores. The mean hemostasis time of the octreotide group was higher than that of the combination group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05); the hospitalization time of the octreotide group was significantly longer than that of the combination group (P<0.05); the blood transfusion volume of patients in the octreotide group was significantly higher than that of the combination group (P<0.05); the overall effective rate of the combination group after treatment was higher than the overall effective rate of the octreotide group (89.19%) (P<0.05). The VAS scores of the combination group at 24 and 72 h after treatment were lower than those of the octreotide group (P<0.05); the VAS scores of both the octreotide and the combination group at 24 and 72 h after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). In conclusion, the combination of octreotide acetate and thrombin is worthy of clinical promotion as it could reduce the average hemostasis time, the bleeding volume, and the hospitalization time of patients with liver cirrhosis combined with gastrointestinal hemorrhage, with better efficacy than the use of octreotide acetate alone.
