Who may be able to join

  • Signed informed consent
  • All cases met the diagnostic criteria for cirrhosis

About this study

Official title: Effect of Different Follow-up Methods on Compliance and Prognosis of NSBB Secondary Prevention of Cirrhosis With Gastroesophageal Varices Bleeding

Non-selective beta blockers are commonly used drugs for primary prevention and secondary prevention in patients with cirrhotic decompensated esophageal varices bleeding,the basic heart rate, blood pressure and condition of different patients have individual differences.This paper mainly discusses the compliance of patients taking NSBB under different follow-up methods and analyze the factors affecting patient compliance.

Read the detailed description

Esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage is a common complication of decompensated liver cirrhosis and the rate of rebleeding after hemostasis is high.Effective secondary prevention reduces the risk of rebleeding.Non-selective beta blockers are commonly used drugs for secondary prevention.Clinically, there is a great difference in the compliance of patients taking non-selective beta receptor blockers.In this study, the enrolled patients were divided into three groups: the traditional follow-up group (face-to-face interview);Non-traditional follow-up (WeChat, telephone, etc.);Traditional and non-traditional methods of follow-up were combined in the group.The investigators collected the basic data before the patients were enrolled, adjusted the medication dosage according to the patients' condition during the follow-up period, and recorded the treatment during the follow-up period, and analyzed the factors influencing the patients' compliance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03683121
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
the traditional follow-up groupThe dose and notes for the use of the Non-selective beta blockers were informed during outpatient follow-ups for the patients with a history of esophageal variceal bleeding
Non-traditional follow-upThe dose and notes for the use of the Non-selective beta blockers were informed during telephone or WeChat follow-ups for the patients with a history of esophageal variceal bleeding
Combine of Group1 and Group2The dose and notes for the use of the Non-selective beta blockers were informed during outpatient follow-ups for the patients with a history of esophageal variceal bleeding,and the patients were followed up by telephone or WeChat again on the same day.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Heart rate compliance ratio after treatment with NSBBs

    In this single-center study, 83 patients were included, including 9 cases lost to follow-up, 1 case died, and 1 case was excluded from liver cancer. a total of 72 cases were included, with an average follow-up time of 185.3 days.Among the 72 patients who were not lost to follow-up, 40 NSBBs patients had good medication compliance, and 34 patients achieved heart rate response (34/40,85.0%).

    Measured: 10 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Different follow-up methods were used to guide non-hospitalized patients to take medication in NSBBs, and the compliance of patients with NSBBs and its influencing factors were analyzed

    Three follow-up methods guided secondary prevention of NSBBs, and the compliance of patients in the remote platform follow-up group and the outpatient clinic combined with the remote platform follow-up group was higher than that in the outpatient follow-up group (P < 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in patient compliance between the remote platform follow-up group and the outpatient combined remote platform follow-up group.In outpatient follow-up, there was a statistically significant difference between the subgroup of NSBBs with good compliance and poor compliance, and the local resident patients had better compliance

    Measured: 10 months

  2. The compliance of gastroscopy and bleeding of esophageal and gastric varices during the follow-up period were analyzed

    The compliance of the subgroup of NSBBs with good medication compliance was 30/40 (75.0%) during the follow-up period of gastroscopy, and 14/30 (46.7%) after gastroscopy was followed up for sequential endoscopic treatment.Poor compliance of NSBBs subgroup during the follow-up period, the compliance of gastroscopy was 7/32 (21.9%), and 3/7 (42.9%) after gastroscopy, sequential treatment under endoscopy.During the follow-up period, the subgroup with good medication compliance of NSBBs had higher compliance with gastroscopy than the subgroup with poor medication compliance (P=0.000).

    Measured: 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Varices Bleeding, run by Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Heart rate compliance ratio after treatment with NSBBs (time frame: 10 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Mar 2021.
