Abstract

Background

During systemic therapy, the management of portal hypertension (PH)-related complications is vital. This study aimed to clarify factors associated with the incidence and exacerbation of PH-related complications, including the usefulness of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in the management of PH-related complications during systemic therapy.

Methods

A total of 669 patients who received systemic therapy as first-line treatment (443 patients for sorafenib, 131 for lenvatinib, and 90 for atezolizumab/bevacizumab [ATZ/BEV]) were enrolled in this retrospective study. Additionally, the lower esophageal intramural vessel diameters (EIV) on CECT and endoscopic findings in 358 patients were compared.

Results

The cutoff values of the EIV diameter on CECT were 3.1 mm for small, 5.1 mm for medium, and 7.6 mm for large varices, demonstrating high concordance with the endoscopic findings. esophageal varices (EV) bleeding predictors include EIV ≥ 3.1 mm and portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). In patients without EV before systemic therapy, factors associated with EV exacerbation after 3 months were EIV ≥ 1.9 mm and ATZ/BEV use. Predictors of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) include the ammonia level or portosystemic shunt diameter ≥ 6.8 mm. The incidence of HE within 2 weeks was significantly higher (18%) in patients with an ammonia level ≥ 73 μmol/L and a portosystemic shunt ≥ 6.8 mm. The exacerbating factors for ascites after 3 months were PVTT and low albumin levels.

Conclusions

Careful management is warranted for patients with risk factors for exacerbation of PH-related complications; moreover, the effective use of CECT is clinically important.

肝细胞癌全身治疗中出现门静脉高压相关并发症的临床风险因素
摘要 背景 在全身治疗期间,门静脉高压症(PH)相关并发症的处理至关重要。本研究旨在明确与门静脉高压相关并发症的发生率和恶化相关的因素,包括对比增强计算机断层扫描(CECT)在系统治疗期间门静脉高压相关并发症管理中的作用。 方法 这项回顾性研究共纳入了669名接受一线系统治疗的患者(索拉非尼443名,来伐替尼131名,阿特珠单抗/贝伐单抗[ATZ/BEV]90名)。此外,还比较了 358 例患者的 CECT 和内镜检查结果中食管下段壁内血管直径 (EIV)。 结果 CECT 上 EIV 直径的临界值为:小食管静脉曲张 3.1 mm,中食管静脉曲张 5.1 mm,大食管静脉曲张 7.6 mm,与内镜检查结果高度一致。食管静脉曲张(EV)出血的预测因素包括 EIV ≥ 3.1 mm 和门静脉肿瘤血栓形成(PVTT)。在系统治疗前无EV的患者中,3个月后EV加重的相关因素是EIV≥1.9毫米和使用ATZ/BEV。肝性脑病(HE)的预测因素包括氨水平或门体分流管直径≥6.8毫米。氨水平≥73 μmol/L和门静脉分流直径≥6.8 mm的患者在两周内发生肝性脑病的比例明显更高(18%)。3 个月后腹水加重的因素是 PVTT 和白蛋白水平低。 结论 对于存在 PH 相关并发症加重危险因素的患者,应谨慎管理;此外,有效使用 CECT 在临床上也非常重要。
