Analysis of the Treatment Efficacy of Percutaneous Catheter Drainage Under CT Guidance for Severe Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis
2019
Background: Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) therapy is an important treatment for severe acute pancreatitis. Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the relevant risk factors of computed tomography (CT) guided PCD during the treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in severe acute pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study. From January 2013 to November 2016, 162 patients suffering from severe acute pancreatitis with IPN were assessed using CT-guided PCD. Abdominal CT scan was performed for the patients. The interventional therapist chose the location and puncture according to the image. Depending on the efficacy and process of the treatment, these patients were divided into a PCD success treatment group and a PCD combined with surgery group. Factors affecting the success of PCD treatment were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results: Among the 162 cases, 71 cases (43.82%) were in the PCD success group and 91 cases (56.17%) were in the PCD combined with surgery group. Through the course of treatment, CT values of piercing zone, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHEII) scores and modified CT severity index (MCTSI) scores showed statistically significant correlation with the therapeutic effect of PCD under CT guidance. A further multivariate analysis found that the CT value of puncture area is the best predictor for efficacy and when the CT value got higher the PCD efficacy would become lower. We performed further analysis of the factors associated with the average CT value in the puncture area which was higher than 20 Hounsfield unit (HU), and found that the length of time from patient admission to drainage, APACHEII scores, MCTSI scores and C reactive protein (CRP) levels were risk factors for PCD treatment efficacy. Conclusion: CT values of piercing zone is the major risk factor affecting the curative effect of CT guidance PCD. For patients with higher CT values in the puncture area, the longer time from patient admission to drainage, the higher APACHEII scores and MCTSI scores. Higher levels of C reactive protein seem to lower the curative effect.
