Effect of Chinese Patent Medicine on the Progression of Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis into Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure
To explore the effect of Chinese patent medicine (CPM) combined with Western internal medicine on the progression of severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) to acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).
Methods
2
Clinical data of 258 hospitalized SAH patients was collected for retrospective study. Patients were divided into CPM group (95 cases) and non-CPM group (163 cases) according to whether taking CPM for treatment or not. Patients in the CPM group were treated with Western internal medicine plus CPM having function of draining dampness and removing jaundice, regulating
qi
and invigorating blood, clearing heat and resolving toxins, while those in the non-CPM group received Western internal medicine alone. The patients' baseline characteristics, laboratory indicators, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and the use of Chinese patent medicine were recorded. The outcome measurement was whether ACLF occurs in SAH patients during the hospitalization. Whether ACLF occurs was taken as a binary variable, and Cox univariate analysis was performed to explore the risk factor of SAH progression into ACLF.
Results
2
The baseline data of the total bilirubin (TBiL), creatinine (Cr), albumin (ALB), and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were significantly different between groups (
P
<0.05), which were not comparable. Therefore, prospensity score matching at ratio of 1
1 were performed, and 83 patients in each group were matched. Before matching, 77 patients took dampness-draining and jaundice-removing CHM; 38 patients took
qi
-regulating and blood-invigorating CHM; 16 patients took heat-clearing and toxins-resolving CPM; 70 patients took single type of CHM, while 25 patients received two or more types of CPM, of which dampness-draining and jaundice-removing CPM in combination of
qi
-regulating and blood-invigorating CPM was mostly seen in 13 cases. After matching, there were 20 cases (24.1%) of ACLF in CPM group, significantly lower than 39 cases (46.9%) in non-CPM group (
P
=0.009). Liver failure occurred mostly in both CPM (13, 15.7%)and non-CPM group (28, 33.7%), with significant difference between groups (
P
<0.05). After matching, CPM treatment was an independent factor for progression into ACLF (OR=0.463, 95%
CI
:0.261-0.823,
P
=0.009) .
Conclusion
2
The use of CPM with function of draining dampness and removing jaundice, regulating
qi
and invigorating blood; clearing heat and resolving toxins plus Western internal medicine can reduce the incidence of ACLF in SAH patients during hospitalization.
