Octreótido long acting release para la hemorragia digestiva en pacientes de edad avanzada con comorbilidad

Abstract

Resumen Fundamento y objetivo El octreotido long acting release (OCT-LAR) ha demostrado resultados preliminares prometedores en el tratamiento de la hemorragia recurrente digestiva de origen oscuro. Pacientes y metodo Once pacientes con comorbilidades graves se trataron con 20 mg intramusculares mensuales de OCT-LAR. No se cambio la medicacion concomitante y se monitorizaron trimestralmente los requerimientos transfusionales, los dias de ingreso hospitalario y los efectos secundarios. Resultados La mediana (extremos) de edad y de seguimiento fue de 74 anos (65–86) y 15 meses (5–48), respectivamente. Cinco pacientes estaban anticoagulados y otros 5 antiagregados; 8 pacientes tenian (72%) angiodisplasias difusas de intestino delgado. Cuatro pacientes (36%) fallecieron durante el estudio. Unicamente 2 pacientes (18%) permanecieron libres de transfusiones, aunque durante el primer ano se redujeron significativamente los requerimientos transfusionales (mediana de concentrados de hematies de 14 [extremos 9–49] frente a 4 [0–9]; p=0,002) y los dias de ingreso hospitalario (mediana de 27 [10–99] frente a 7 [0–23] dias; p=0,001). No se registraron efectos secundarios. Conclusiones El OCT-LAR es un tratamiento paliativo eficaz, seguro y comodo para la hemorragia digestiva de origen oscuro. El ahorro de recursos sanitarios y la mejoria en la calidad de vida pueden justificar su uso independientemente de las enfermedades asociadas.
