Results The two grou ps were similar with respect to all background variables. Initial hemostasis was achieved in 44/45 (97.8%) patients in both groups. The mean number of hemoclip s and elastic bands applied were 2.8: 95%CI<<2.5, 3.1>> and 1.1: 95%CI<<1.0, 1.2>> , respectively,and the mean volume of epinephrine injected was 19.9 mL:95%CI<<19 .3 mL, 20.5 mL>>. The rate of recurrent bleeding in the combination group (2/44, 4.5%) was significantly lower in comparison with the injection group (9/44, 20. 5%, p < 0.05).The mean number of therapeutic endoscopic sessions needed to achi eve permanent hemostasis in the combination group (1.04:95%CI<<1.01, 1.07>>) was significantly lower vs. the injection group (1.22: 95%CI<<1.15, 1.30>>). Conclusi ons The combination of an endoscopic mechanical method of hemostasis plus epinep hrine injection is more effective than epinephrine injection alone for the treat ment of bleeding peptic ulcer.展开更多
