Technological integration in timing of endoscopy: Predictive modeling for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding outcomes.
Background: Technological advancements have revolutionized the management of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). However, the impact of endoscopic timing on treatment outcomes remains a critical area of exploration.
Objective: This study evaluated the role of endoscopic timing in improving treatment outcomes for AUGIB and introduces a predictive model incorporating clinical and technological insights.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of AUGIB patients treated between December 2020 and December 2023 was conducted. Logistic regression identified significant predictors of outcomes, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis evaluated their predictive value. A predictive model was developed based on these findings.
Results: Among 145 patients, 35 (24.1%) experienced rebleeding. Key predictors included endoscopic timing, active bleeding, shock on admission, and bleeding volume (p < 0.05). The predictive model demonstrated robust performance (C-index: 0.885, 95% CI: 0.810-0.956), emphasizing the clinical relevance of precise timing in endoscopic intervention.
Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of integrating technology with clinical practice to optimize endoscopic timing and improve AUGIB outcomes. The predictive model offers a valuable tool for risk stratification and clinical decision-making in modern healthcare settings.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
