About
This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study based on real-world data. Patients with portal hypertension and esophagogastric varices were enrolled and divided into an endoscopic treatment group and a non-endoscopic treatment group (including patients receiving medical therapy, interventional procedures, or surgical treatment) according to whether they underwent endoscopic intervention. Baseline data, serum metabolites, CT imaging and endoscopic images, liver biopsy pathology, and other multi-omics data were integrated for both groups. Patients were followed up to compare adverse events after variceal treatment, including rebleeding and its causes, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, subsequent treatments (such as regular endoscopic therapy, NSSB, and TIPS), and survival outcomes. Clinical characteristics of portal hypertension attributed to different etiologies, including hepatitis B, autoimmune liver disease, schistosomiasis, hematological disorders, and chemotherapy-induced liver injury, were compared. The efficacy and safety of endoscopic and interventional treatments for esophagogastric varices were evaluated. Factors influencing rebleeding rates among different treatment groups were analyzed, and reasons for inclusion in different groups were discussed.
