RESUMEN

Introducción: Adherence to guidelines on the periendoscopic management of antiplatelet therapy (APT) has not been analyzed in detail. Our aim was to assess adherence to guidelines in patients referred to our Endoscopy Unit on a case-by-case basis, describing in detail the detected deviations and identifying areas of improvement. Patients and methods: Cross-sectional study of outpatients consecutively scheduled for an unsedated upper or lower gastrointestinal endoscopy between January and June 2015. Patients on anticoagulant therapy were excluded. Results: 675 patients were evaluated, including 91 (13.5%) patients on APT [upper GI endoscopy 25 (27.5%), lower GI endoscopy 66 (72.5%)]. Contrary to the clinical guidelines, aspirin was discontinued in 25 of the 77 patients previously prescribed the drug (32.5%) but this modification was patient's own decision in 11 cases. Most of the apparent deviations in the management of clopidogrel and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) were not true non-adherence cases. The Primary Care physician modified an APT prescribed by another physician in 8 of 9 cases (88.9%), always in cases with aspirin. No relationship was found between the endoscopic procedure's predicted risk of bleeding or the patient's thrombotic risk and modification of therapy. Discussion: In many patients, the peri-procedural management of APT goes against current guidelines, but some of these inconsistencies cannot be considered true deviations from practice. Identified areas for improvement are increasing patient awareness about APT, disseminating the guidelines in Primary Care, and underscoring the significance of thrombotic risk related to APT withdrawal


Introducción: El cumplimiento de las guías clínicas sobre el manejo periendoscópico del tratamiento antiagregante plaquetario (TAP) no se ha analizado con detalle. Nuestro objetivo fue analizar caso por caso el cumplimiento de las guías en los pacientes que acuden a nuestra Unidad de Endoscopia, describiendo con detalle las desviaciones detectadas e identificando áreas de mejora. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio transversal sobre pacientes consecutivos programados para gastroscopia o colonoscopia realizadas sin sedación entre enero y junio de 2015. Se excluyeron los pacientes en tratamiento anticoagulante. Resultados: Se evaluaron 675 pacientes de los que se incluyeron 91 (13,5%) por estar en tratamiento con antiagregante plaquetario (gastroscopias 25 [27,5%], colonoscopias 66 [72,5%]). La aspirina se interrumpió contrariamente a las guías clínicas en 25 de los 77 pacientes que la llevaban (32,5%), pero esta modificación fue una decisión del propio paciente en 11 casos. Muchas de las aparentes desviaciones en el manejo del clopidogrel y del tratamiento antiagregante plaquetario doble (TAPD) no eran verdaderos casos de no cumplimiento. El médico de Atención Primaria modificó el TAP prescrito por otro especialista en 8 de 9 casos (88,9%), siempre en casos de aspirina. No se encontró relación entre el riesgo de sangrado del procedimiento endoscópico o el riesgo de trombosis del paciente y la modificación del tratamiento. Discusión: En una proporción significativa de pacientes el manejo periprocedimiento del TAP va en contra de las guías clínicas, pero algunas de estas desviaciones no pueden considerarse verdaderos incumplimientos. Áreas de mejora son aumentar la información al paciente sobre el TAP, extender la diseminación de las guías a atención primaria y resaltar la importancia del riesgo trombótico relacionado con la suspensión del TAP

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: There are few large prospective cohort studies evaluating predictors of outcomes in acute pancreatitis. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of age and co-morbid disease in predicting major outcomes in acute pancreatitis. METHODS: Data points were collected according to a predefined electronic data collection form. Acute pancreatitis and its complications were defined according to the revised Atlanta classification. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted using Cox proportional hazard regression and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: From June 2013-February 2015, 1655 adult patients were recruited from 23 centres across Spain. Co-morbid disease, obesity, open surgical necrosectomy within 30 days, and pancreatic necrosis were independently associated with both 30-day mortality and persistent organ failure (p < 0.05 for all). Age was not associated with persistent organ failure, however the extreme of age (>85 years) was associated with mortality (p < 0.05). Co-morbid disease and obesity were not independently associated with a prolonged length of stay or other markers of morbidity on adjusted analysis (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Comorbidity and obesity are important determinates of mortality and persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis, but in the absence of organ failure they do not appear to independently contribute to morbidity. This has important implications for severity classification and predictive models of severity in acute pancreatitis.

RESUMEN

 Background and aims. Steroid-related hepatotoxicity has become one of the most relevant causes of drug induced liver cholestasis. Some patients do not improve after standard medical treatment (SMT) and may therefore require other approaches, like extracorporeal liver support. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report four cases of patients with pruritus, abnormal liver function tests and biopsy-proven anabolic steroid-induced cholestasis who were unresponsive to SMT. They underwent treatment with albumin dialysis (Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System -MARS®-). A minimum of two MARS sessions were performed. RESULTS: After MARS® procedure, patients' symptoms improved, as well as liver function tests, thus avoiding liver transplantation. CONCLUSION: Albumin dialysis appears as a valuable therapeutic option for the management of anabolic steroid-induced cholestasis in patients that are unresponsive to SMT.
