OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to compare and observe the therapeutic effect of octreotide and pituitrin in upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by cirrhosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective, randomized, open, single-blind, controlled, and single-center study, patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage induced by cirrhosis were divided into control group (treated with pituitrin) and experimental group (treated with octreotide). The effective time, hemostasis time, and average bleeding volume of the two groups were observed and recorded, and the incidence of adverse reactions, rebleeding rate, and total effective rate of the two groups were compared.
RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-two patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by cirrhosis were included from March 2017 to September 2018. By a single-blind method, the patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 66) and experimental group (n = 66). Compared with the control group, the effective time and hemostasis time of the drug were significantly shorter in the experimental group, whereas the average bleeding volume of patients was lower (average P < 0.05). Compare with the control group, the total effective rate was higher in the experimental group, whereas the incidence of adverse reactions was lower (average P < 0.05). During 1-year follow-up, early and late rebleeding rates and hemorrhage-related mortality between the two groups have no difference (average P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: In the treatment of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage in cirrhosis, octreotide is superior to pituitrin, with advantages of quick onset, short hemostasis time, and less adverse reactions, which is helpful to control the rebleeding rate and bleeding-related mortality.
