Objective: To study the effect of lower-molecular weight heparin in the prevention of pancreatic encephalopathy (PE) in the patient with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
Methods: Two hundred sixty-five SAP patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: (1) conventional treatment group (C group, n = 130) and (2) conventional treatment plus lower-molecular weight heparin treatment group (LT group, n = 135). The clinical parameters, laboratory parameters and computed tomographic (CT) score of pancreatic necrosis (CTSPN), incidence of PE, and mortality in the 2 groups were compared.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effectiveness of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in treating severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) by comparing two groups: one receiving conventional treatment and the other receiving conventional treatment plus LMWH.
- - Results showed that patients in the LMWH group had significantly better clinical improvements, lower complication rates, and shorter hospital stays compared to the conventional treatment group.
- - The researchers concluded that LMWH not only boosts the effectiveness of standard treatments for SAP but also reduces mortality rates, making it a safe and affordable option for hospitals.
