Previous studies had shown that conservatively managed patients who have major endoscopic stigmata of bleeding have a high risk of uncontrolled bleeding and rebleeding Others have shown that this risk is re- duced greatly by endoscopic therapy. 1 4 Consequently, we believed that it would be unethical to include a con- trol (no endoscopic treatment arm) in the current study. All patients who died had significant medical comorbidity, and three deaths occurred in patients who bled after admission to the hospital for illness unrelated to peptic ulcer. It is clearly possible that these patients would have inevitably died as a consequence of their cardiorespiratory or other diseases and that bleeding ulcer was an agonal incidental event and that, by chance, all of these were randomized to group 1. However, it is likely that uncontrolled bleeding in each patient contributed to decompensation of comorbid illness and was an important contributor to death. In this study, the severity of comorbid disease was not quantified; nevertheless, the definition of comorbidity was such that these patients had severe illness with significant physical disability. The distribution of comorbid disease, including the presence of multiple conditions, was very similar in the two groups, and differences in outcome after endoscopic therapy are unlikely to have been caused by unequal distribution of severity or the number of conditions present. Although permanent hemostasis was achieved more often with combination therapy than by injection of dilute adrenaline alone, the median blood transfusion requirements and median duration of hospital stay were similar in the two groups. The length of hospital stay is frequently dependent on social factors and the course of unrelated medical illness; therefore, it is not surprising that the duration of hospital stay was similar in the two groups. The observation that there were fewer total transfusion requirements in group 2 and that the median of transfused units was similar in both groups reflects the wide range of transfusions necessary in this study. In a clinical trial, Lin et al. 11 showed that hemostasis from bleeding ulcer can be as readily achieved by the injection of inert substances as by the injection of sclerosants or adrenaline. This suggested that a tamponade effect, in which a relatively large volume of fluid is injected into the rigid confines of a chronic ulcer, can stop bleeding by compressing the bleeding vessel. Others 13,26,27 have also referred to this possible mechanism. In the current study, the median total injected volume was similar in the two groups. Therefore, although a tamponade effect may have contributed to hemostasis in many patients, we have shown an additional specific ef- fect for human thrombin. The efficacy of injected bovine thrombin (alone or in combination with other agents) has been examined in several clinical trials with varying conclusions. Juszkie- wicz et al. 15 randomized 50 patients who presented with nonbleeding visible vessels within peptic ulcers to either no endoscopic therapy or injection with 200 IU of animal thrombin and reported a rebleeding rate of 4% in the treated group compared with 40% in the control group. Although this difference is statistically significant (P õ 0.01) and encouraging, there must be reservations about the conclusions of such a small study. This criticism also applies to the trial reported by Moreto et al. 16 who randomized 38 patients (with spurting, oozing, or nonbleeding visible vessel) to conservative therapy or injec- tion with ethanolamine plus 50 IU of bovine thrombin. Rebleeding in the treated group was 5.3% compared with 57.9% in the control group.
