Abstract:Objective: To explore the hemostatic effect of endoscopic tissue glue injection combined with titanium clip in treating acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (ANVUGIB). Methods: The data of patients with ANVUGIB from January 2023 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, and the above patients were divided into titanium clip group (titanium clip therapy) and titanium clip tissue adhesive group (endoscopic tissue glue injection on the basis of the treatment regimen in titanium clip assembly) according to treatment methods. The two groups of patients were excluded from the influence of confounding factors of baseline data according to the propensity score matching method (caliper=0.02), and 51 patients with comparable baseline data were finally obtained in each group. The hemostatic effect, improvement times of symptoms such as drainage clearing, occult blood negative conversion and hematemesis disappearance, complications, blood indicators [hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC), prothrombin time (PT)] before and after treatment and re-hemorrhage within half a year were compared between the two groups. Results: The success rate of 72 h hemostasis was 96.08% in titanium clip tissue adhesive group and that in titanium clip group (84.31%), with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The improvement times of symptoms such as drainage clearing, occult blood negative conversion and hematemesis disappearance were shorter in titanium clip tissue adhesive group than those in titanium clip group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in total incidence rate of complications between titanium clip tissue adhesive group (5.88%) and titanium clip group (13.73%) (P>0.05). After surgery, Hb and RBC were increased in both groups (P<0.05), and PT was reduced, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), and the differences of various indicators in titanium clip tissue adhesive group before and after surgery were statistically different than those in titanium clip group (P<0.05). The re-hemorrhage rate within half a year in titanium clip tissue adhesive group was 1.96% and that in titanium clip group was 13.73%, with a statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Endoscopic tissue glue injection combined with titanium clip can effectively treat ANVUGIB, and improve clinical symptoms and blood indicators of patients, and it has few complications and low re-hemorrhage rate, and it is safe and effective.
