Introduction: In patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), clinical studies comparing endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) to enteral stenting (ES) have shown variable results. We conducted a meta-analysis to reconcile the data.
Methods: Online databases were searched for studies evaluating EUS-GE vs ES in patients with GOO. The endpoints of interest were technical success, clinical success, procedure time (minutes), hospital stay (days), need for reintervention, adverse events (AEs) and mortality. Odds ratio (OR) and standardized mean difference (SMD), along with 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated by performing random effect meta-analysis.
Results: Seventeen studies (1 randomized trial and 16 observational) with a total of 2105 patients (EUS-GE n=1004, ES n=1101) were included in the final analysis. The mean age of the patients was 67 years and 55% were men. EUS-GE had a lower rate of technical success as compared with ES (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.92, p = 0.02), however clinical success was higher in the EUS-GE group (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.82 to 3.79, p < 0.00001) (Figure 1). Although procedure time was longer with EUS-GE (SMD 1.45, 95% CI 0.29 to 2.62, p = 0.01), it led to significant reduction in hospital stay (SMD -0.63, 95% CI -1.15 to -0.11, p = 0.02). EUS-GE was associated with decreased reintervention rate (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.20, p < 0.00001), total AEs (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.84, p = 0.009) and stent obstruction (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.36, p = 0.0008). The two groups were comparable in terms of obstructive jaundice/biliary obstruction (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.21 to 3.55, p = 0.84), cholangitis (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.28 to 1.99, p = 0.55), pneumonia (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.11 to 1.59, p = 0.20) and mortality (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.84, p = 0.48).
Discussion: EUS-GE may be a better therapeutic modality in patients with GOO as compared with ES, due to the higher rate of clinical success, combined with lower reintervention rate and AEs.
