Methods: Patients with EVB who had achieved hemostatsis with EBL from Jan 2004-Dec 2005 were included. All were managed on standard protocol on hospital variceal bleeding pathway. The course of Terlipressin as SC or UC was based on patient's inability to afford the cost of hospitalization and Terlipressin. The Efficacy of Terlipressin in the control of EVB was defined based on Baveno III criteria. Results: Total of 117 patients were admitted during the study period. Out of them, 66 received UC & 51 SC of Terlipressin. The base line characteristics were comparable except younger age in SC. There were 2 re-bleed (3%) in UC and 1 (2%) in SC Terlipressin group. The length of stay was shorter in SC group. (2.47±0.57 vs 6.15±2.92 days). Conclusions: SC seems as effective as UC Terlipressin in the control of EVB after initial control of hemostatsis with EBL and may reduces the length of hospital stay. RCTs are needed to assess this as all stable patients may not need to continue Terlipressin for 72 hours. Background/Aims: To analyze the relationship between conventional laboratory results and death risk in patients with esophageal varices bleeding due to cirrhosis (CEVB), and establish a simple model for timely predicting death rsik of the patients.
