To study the relationship between platelet count-to-spleen diameter ratio and post-gastrectomy esophageal varices (EVs) development in patients without liver cirrhosis or hepatitis.
We retrospectively studied 92 patients who underwent gastrectomy. They were divided into 2 groups on the basis of the surgical treatment: the distal gastrectomy (DG) group and total gastrectomy (TG) group. The incidence of EVs was determined and postoperative platelet counts, spleen diameters, and platelet count-to-spleen diameter ratios were compared between the 2 groups.
EVs were not detected during the first 6 mo after surgery in either group; however, at 12 mo after surgery, EVs were detected in 2 patients (3%) in the DG group and in 1 patient (3.6%) in the TG group; their mean platelet count-to-spleen diameter ratio was 2628 +/- 409, and 2604 +/- 360, respectively.
Endoscopy should be performed to detect EVs when the platelet count-to-spleen diameter ratio is < 2600.
研究无肝硬化或肝炎的患者血小板计数与脾径比值与胃切除术后食管静脉曲张(EVs)发展之间的关系。
我们回顾性研究了 92 例接受胃切除术的患者。根据手术治疗将他们分为两组:远端胃切除术(DG)组和全胃切除术(TG)组。确定 EVs 的发生率,并比较两组患者术后血小板计数、脾径和血小板计数与脾径比值。
两组患者术后 6 个月内均未检测到 EVs;然而,在术后 12 个月时,DG 组有 2 例(3%)患者和 TG 组有 1 例(3.6%)患者检测到 EVs;他们的平均血小板计数与脾径比值分别为 2628±409 和 2604±360。
当血小板计数与脾径比值<2600 时,应进行内镜检查以检测 EVs。
