Abstract
Background
Intra-abdominal bleeding resulting from inadequate drainage of duodenal leakage (DL) is typically caused by the corrosiveness of duodenal fluid. Open abdomen (OA) treatment addresses both the drainage and bleeding simultaneously. However, a sequential treatment (ST) approach involving hemostasis through transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) followed by percutaneous drainage of source control has emerged as an alternative method. This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of ST in cases of DL-induced intra-abdominal bleeding.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 151 participants diagnosed with DL-induced intra-abdominal bleeding from January 2004 to December 2010, and January 2013 to December 2021. The ST and OA groups were established based on the treatment method applied. Propensity score-matching (PSM) matched patients in the ST group with those in the OA group.
Results
Among the 151 patients, 61 (40.4%) died within 90 days after the bleeding episode. ST was associated with a lower mortality rate (28.2% vs. 51.3% adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17–0.68; P = 0.003) compared to OA. Following PSM, ST remained the only factor associated with reduced mortality (OR = 0.32; 95% CI 0.13–0.75; P = 0.009). Moreover, ST demonstrated a higher rate of initial hemostasis success before (90.1% [64/71] vs. 77.5% [62/80]; adjusted OR = 2.84; 95% CI 1.07–7.60; P = 0.04) and after PSM (94.4% [51/54] vs. 77.8% [42/54], adjusted OR = 3.85; 95% CI 2.15–16.82; P = 0.04). Additionally, ST was associated with a lower incidence of rebleeding within 90 days after the initial bleeding, before (7 vs. 23; adjusted OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.18–0.92; P = 0.03) and after PSM (5 vs. 14; adjusted OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.15–0.93; P = 0.03).
Conclusions
Applying ST involving TAE and subsequent percutaneous drainage might be superior to OA in lowering the mortality in DL-induced intra-abdominal hemorrhage.
