Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Association With Peptic Ulcer Disease and Hepatic Vein Pressure Gradient (NCT NCT01944878)

NCT ID: NCT01944878

Last Updated: 2014-07-24

Results Overview

The association of hepatic vein pressure gradient that reflects portal hypertension and peptic ulcer disease in patients with liver cirrhosis was assessed statistically. (NO specific time frame, only confined to 2009 to 2012, when the HVPG measurement was done). The Mann-Whitney test was used to evaluate the association between PUD or not and HVPG degree, by SPSS software.

Participant Flow

We analyzed the medical records of 455 hepatic vein pressure gradient (HVPG) and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) patients who had LC or chronic hepatitis in a single tertiary hospital.

800 HVPG measurement cases (Initial). Missing data (3), failure of HVPG measurements (8), cases without EGD (196); including 35 cases of patients on B-blocker, EGD over 3 months from HVPG measurement (79), incomplete EGD due to remnant food materials (19), cases having a history of gastrectomy (5), acute hepatopathy (5), and HCC (30) were excluded.
