Application of chronic liver failure-sequential organ failure assessment score for the predication of mortality after esophageal variceal hemorrhage post endoscopic ligation
BACKGROUND Esophageal variceal hemorrhage (EVH) is one of the high mortality complications in cirrhotic patients. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is currently the standard therapy for EVH. However, some patients have expired during hospitalization or survived shortly after management. AIM To evaluate hospital and 6-week mortality by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of chronic ...
متن کاملSequential organ failure assessment score predicts mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting
BACKGROUND Mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is generally associated with underlying disease and surgical factors overlooked in preoperative prognostic models. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) scores are widely used in intensive care units for outcome prediction. This study investigated the accuracy of...
متن کاملComplete esophageal obstruction after endoscopic variceal band ligation.
Endoscopic variceal band ligation (EVL) is the endoscopic therapy of choice for esophageal varices. We present a very rare complication of EVL: complete esophageal obstruction [1]. A 64-year-old woman with cirrhosis was admitted for her fourth EVL. During the procedure, esophageal mucosal scarring from previous ligation, mild stenosis of the lower third of the esophagus, and a single large vari...
متن کاملComplete esophageal obstruction following endoscopic variceal ligation.
Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is the standard-of-care therapy for treating and preventing recurrence of acute esophageal variceal hemorrhage.1 EVL can also be used to prevent a patient’s first variceal bleeding episode, particularly in patients who have medium or large varices showing high-risk signs for bleeding or patients who are intolerant to β-blocker therapy.1-3 EVL has supplanted th...
متن کاملApplication of a modified sequential organ failure assessment score to critically ill patients
The purpose of the present study was to explore the usefulness of the Mexican sequential organ failure assessment (MEXSOFA) score for assessing the risk of mortality for critically ill patients in the ICU. A total of 232 consecutive patients admitted to an ICU were included in the study. The MEXSOFA was calculated using the original SOFA scoring system with two modifications: the PaO2/FiO2 rati...
