THE VALUE OF ABC SCORE IN THE PROGNOSIS OF CIRRHOTIC PATIENTS WITH ACUTE ESOPHAGEAL VARICEAL BLEEDING
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Prognostic assessment for patients with esophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhosis is crucial for determining the level of risk and guiding appropriate treatment decisions. Objectives: To study the value of the ABC score in predicting treatment outcomes for acute esophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhosis patients. Subjects and methods: 148 patients with acute esophageal variceal bleeding on the background of cirrhosis were hospitalized for treatment at Can Tho Central General Hospital. Results: The ABC-score is a useful predictor for early rebleeding with an AUC of 0.743 (p<0.001), a cutoff score of 7, a sensitivity of 66.7%, and a specificity of 76.8%. It predicts mortality with an AUC of 0.782 (p<0.001), a cutoff score of 7, a sensitivity of 80%, and a specificity of 70%. Conclusion: The ABC-score is valuable in predicting rebleeding and mortality in cirrhosis patients with acute esophageal variceal bleeding.
