Current treatment modalities for spontaneous esophageal perforation remain controversial because of their rarity.
To describe our institution's experience in managing patients with spontaneous esophageal rupture and conduct a meta-analysis of existing studies to determine the best evidence-based treatment options.
The authors enrolled patients with spontaneous esophageal rupture who underwent their first treatment at our institution. The authors also identified studies through a systematic search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases before 1 April 2024, for inclusion in the meta-analysis.
This case series included data from 17 patients with delayed diagnosis who were treated with esophageal stents, with an immediate mortality rate of 5.9%. In addition to the cases from our institution, the authors obtained 944 patients from 46 studies in the final analysis. The combined immediate mortality rate was 11% (95% CI: 0.08-0.15). The combined reintervention rate was 11% (95% CI: 0.05-0.19). The combined immediate mortality was 6% (95% CI: 0.04-0.09) after primary closure, 14% (95% CI: 0.02-0.32) after T-tube drain repair, 2% (95% CI: 0.00-0.15) after esophagectomy, 8% (95% CI: 0.03-0.15) after stent placement, and 22% (95% CI: 0.03-0.47) after conservative treatment. The subgroup analysis based on the timing of the intervention showed that the immediate mortality rate in patients initiating treatment within 24 h of rupture was 3% (95% CI: 0.01-0.08), whereas that in patients initiating treatment >24 h later was 12% (95% CI: 0.08-0.18).
Outcomes are best after esophagectomy, and primary closure or esophageal stenting is a good option compared with other treatment modalities. Prognosis is related to the timing of intervention, and accurate diagnosis and treatment within 24 h significantly reduces the risk of death in patients. Patients with delayed diagnosis may have a better prognosis with stent placement.
由于自发性食管穿孔较为罕见,目前其治疗方式仍存在争议。
描述我院在治疗自发性食管破裂患者方面的经验,并对现有研究进行荟萃分析,以确定基于最佳证据的治疗方案。
作者纳入了在我院接受首次治疗的自发性食管破裂患者。作者还通过系统检索2024年4月1日前的MEDLINE、EMBASE和Cochrane图书馆数据库来确定研究,以纳入荟萃分析。
该病例系列纳入了17例延迟诊断且接受食管支架治疗的患者数据,其即刻死亡率为5.9%。除了我院的病例外,作者在最终分析中还从46项研究中获取了944例患者的数据。综合即刻死亡率为11%(95%CI:0.08 - 0.15)。综合再次干预率为11%(95%CI:0.05 - 0.19)。一期缝合后综合即刻死亡率为6%(95%CI:0.04 - 0.09),T管引流修复后为14%(95%CI:0.02 - 0.32),食管切除术后为2%(95%CI:0.00 - 0.15),支架置入后为8%(95%CI:0.03 - 0.15),保守治疗后为22%(95%CI:0.03 - 0.47)。基于干预时机的亚组分析显示,破裂后24小时内开始治疗的患者即刻死亡率为3%(95%CI:0.01 - 0.08),而24小时后开始治疗的患者即刻死亡率为12%(95%CI:0.08 - 0.18)。
食管切除术后预后最佳,与其他治疗方式相比,一期缝合或食管支架置入是较好的选择。预后与干预时机有关,24小时内准确诊断和治疗可显著降低患者死亡风险。延迟诊断的患者支架置入可能预后较好。
