ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hypertensive portal gastropathy is a complication of portal hypertension that occurs in cirrhotic patients.Objective: Determine the probability of survival in a group of cirrhotic patients with hypertensive portal gastropathy.
Methods: a longitudinal, prospective follow-up was conducted to study the survival of thirty four (34) patients with liver cirrhosis and they were treated at the Gastroenterology Service of Dr. Luis Díaz Soto Central Military Hospital from October 2012 to October 2015. Full-length and strata survival curves were constructed, according to Child-Pugh-Turcotte classification, as well as etiology of cirrhosis, severity of gastropathy, and occurrence of acute bleeding during the observation period. Kaplan-Meier method was used and the comparison of the curves by the logarithm of ranges.
Results: A global survival probability of 94.1 % was observed at two months and 61.7 % at 30 months. The mean survival for patients with mild and severe gastropathy was 29.1 and 29.7 months, respectively; this was 28.3 months for cases with C virus cirrhosis and 30.1 months for those of other etiologies. There were predominant cases in Child A (41.2 %) and B (47.1 %), with an average survival of 33.5 and 30.1 months; For Child C (12 %) was 12 months; (P = 0.05). 35.3 % of the cases bled, with an average survival of 25.5 months lower than those who did not bleed (p = 0.35).
Conclusions: The presence of hypertensive portal gastropathy is associated with a greater probability of dying when there is a greater deterioration of the liver function or acute bleeding has occurred, as of 30 months after having been diagnosed.
