Measuring the XXXX in the upper digestive hemorrhages.

@entity1 @entity82 @entity548 @entity1575 @entity99
The upper digestive @entity548 is one of the main causes of mortality from @entity1575 ( @entity82 ). The measurement of the @entity99 ( @entity99 ) by angiographic way can be used for the determination of the risk of @entity548 . The aim of this study is to verify the influence of the @entity99 measurement upon the survival in @entity1 with @entity82 and upper digestive @entity548 . A retrospective pilot study on 33 @entity1 with upper digestive @entity548 divided into two groups according to the therapeutic attitude followed, was carried out. One group was classically treated, with variceal band ligation, non-elective beta-blockers and in emergency Octreotide. The other group was treated depending on the value of @entity99 . From the moment of the first episode of digestive @entity548 , the survival period was in average of 8.1 months for the @entity1 with viral etiology and for those with alcoholic etiology it was of 19.7 months. In @entity1 treated after @entity99 measurement, the average survival period was of 34.2 months and in @entity1 "classically" treated, the average survival period was of 15.5 months (significant difference). In conclusion, the measurement of @entity99 allowed the selection of a high-risk group of @entity1 . This permitted the making of a therapeutical decision with a significant prolongation of life in these @entity1 .
