This study analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample database in the United States and found that the prevalence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage in gastrointestinal cancer patients is associated with the anatomical location of the tumor. Endoscopy is linked to a significant reduction in inpatient mortality. However, decisions on interventions should be tailored to individual patient goals and overall care benefit in the gastrointestinal cancer population.
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH) is a common complication with gastrointestinal cancers (GIC). There is no comprehensive research that examines GIH in different types of GIC. AIM To study the prevalence, predictors, and interventions of GIH based on the anatomical location of GIC. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of the 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample database, the largest inpatient care database in the United States. All adult inpatients (& GE; 18-year-old) were included. ICD-10-CM codes were used to identify patients with GIH and GIC. Prevalence of GIH was obtained based on the anatomical location of GIC. Predictors of GIH in the GIC population were studied using multivariate analysis. Interventions including endoscopy were compared to the non-intervention group to determine the differences in inpatient mortality. RESULTS Out of a total of 18173885 inpatients, 321622 (1.77%) cases had a diagnosis of GIC. Within GIC patients, 30507 (9.5%) inpatients had GIH, which was significantly (P < 0.001) more than the prevalence of GIH in patients without GIC (3.4%). The highest to lowest GIH rates are listed in the following order: Stomach cancer (15.7%), liver cancer (13.0%), small bowel cancer (12.7%), esophageal cancer (9.1%), colorectal cancer (9.1%), pancreatic cancer (7.2%), bile duct cancer (6.0%), and gallbladder cancer (5.1%). Within gastric cancer, the GIH rate ranged from 14.8% in cardia cancer to 25.5% in fundus cancer. Within small bowel cancers, duodenal cancers had a higher GIH rate (15.6%) than jejunal (11.1%) and ileal cancers (5.7%). Within esophageal cancers, lower third cancers had higher GIH (10.7%) than the middle third (8.0%) or upper third cancers (6.2%). When studying the predictors of GIH in GIC, socioeconomic factors such as minority race and less favorable insurances (Medicaid and self-pay) were associated with significantly higher GIH on multivariate analysis (P < 0.01). Chemotherapy and immunotherapy were also identified to have a lower risk for GIH [odds ratios (OR) = 0.74 (0.72-0.77), P < 0.001]. Out of 30507 GIC inpatients who also had GIH, 16267 (53.3%) underwent an endoscopic procedure, i.e., upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. Inpatient mortality was significantly lower in patients who underwent endoscopy compared to no endoscopy [5.5% vs 14.9%, OR = 0.42 (0.38-0.46), P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION The prevalence of GIH in patients with GIC varies significantly based on the tumor's anatomical location. Endoscopy, which appears to be associated with a substantial reduction in inpatient mortality, should be offered to GIC patients with GIH. Nevertheless, the decision on intervention in the GIC population should be tailored to individual patient's goals of care, the benefit on overall care, and long-term survival.
