Background Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is a common procedure for primary and secondary prevention of variceal bleeding in cirrhosis patients. As portal vein thrombosis is associated with a higher risk of variceal bleeding and decompensation in cirrhosis patients, anticoagulation may be considered in these patients. However, it is uncertain if continuing anticoagulation during EVL may significantly increase the risk of bleeding. To address this gap, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the safety of continuing anticoagulation during EVL. The primary outcome was the bleeding risk following EVL. Secondary outcomes were mortality following EVL and length of stay (LOS). Methods We performed a systematic search of 4 electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and ClinicalTrial.gov) up to May 21, 2021 using both free text and MeSH terms. We included all studies that reported the 4-week rebleeding rate in cirrhosis patients during EVL, regardless of study design, language, publication types or status. The pooled relative risk (RR), mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of study outcomes were estimated using Review Manager in a random-effect model. Results A total of six studies (5,102 subjects, 1,028 received anticoagulation) fulfilled our inclusion criteria. The mean (standard deviation) MELD and Child-Pugh score were 18 (5.5) and 7 (1.6), respectively. Follow-up duration ranged from 6 to 196 weeks. The overall pooled risk of bleeding and mortality was 8.2% (95%CI: 6.6%-10.0%) and 8.6% (95%CI: 4.2%-15.3%), respectively. Mean number of bands deployed per session was similar between the anticoagulation and control group. Continuation of anticoagulants during EVL was not associated with a higher pooled risk of bleeding (RR: 0.90, 95%CI: 0.71-1.15, I2 =0%) and mortality (RR: 1.16, 95%CI: 0.22-6.19) following EVL. However, continuing anticoagulation was associated with a shorter LOS (3.9 days, 95%CI: -7.35 to -0.48 days, I2 =0%). All studies had a low risk of bias except for one. Conclusions In cirrhosis patients undergoing EVL, continuing anticoagulation was safe without a significant increase in bleeding and mortality.

Mean values of Se intake and serum Se, tHg and MeHg were calculated; univariate and multi-variate linear regressions were conducted between CAP and Se intake, serum Se, tHg and MeHg, respectively with covariates of gender, age, ethnicity, tobacco smoke, BMI, educational level and average household income. Results Mean±SD for Se intake was 101.9±70.8 mcg, serum Se 2.4±0.33 nmol/L, serum tHg 5.6±11.4 nmol/L, serum MeHg 4.6±9.8 nmol/L, Se:tHg molar ratio of 1.1±0.8, Se: MeHg molar ratio of 1.5±1.0. The mean CAP was 257±66.2 dB/m. Univariate linear regression showed a positive association between CAP and Se intake (r=0.037, p<0.01), serum Se (r= 19.7, p<0.001), Se:MeHg molar ratio (r=-4.9, p<0.001), Se:tHg molar ratio (r= -2.8, p<0.001), respectively. After adjustment, associations between CAP and serum MeHg (r= 0.14, p<0.05), serum Se (r=13.8, p<0.001) remained statistically significant, but the associations with the molar ratios no longer existed. Conclusions Our results suggested that Se was associated with a decreased risk of NAFLD, whereas tHg and MeHg do not necessarily increase the disease risk. The molar ratios may present as early biomarkers for the prediction of NAFLD risk.
