Abstract:Objective To analyze risk factors of delayed postpolypectomy bleeding (DPPB) after endoscopic mucosal resection.Methods 825 patients underwent colonoscopy polypectomy from September 2017 to September 2019 were involved in this study. The clinical data, polyp location, polyp pathology, polyp size, polyp number and morphology were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic analysis.Results 33 (4.0%) colorectal polyps in 825 patients presented with delayed bleeding. Univariate analysis indicated that age (P = 0.000), hypertension (P = 0.013), intraoperative bleeding (P = 0.000), polyp location (P = 0.026), size (P = 0.014), morphology (P = 0.042), pathology (P = 0.044) were risk factors for DPPB. Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that hypertension (P = 0.003, O = 3.266, 95%CI: 1.485~7.187), intraoperative bleeding (P = 0.000, O = 39.630, 95%CI: 14.031~111.935), and a polyp size over 10 mm (P = 0.014, O = 2.725, 95%CI: 1.223~6.069) were independently associated with DPPB.Conclusion DPPB is significantly associated with hypertension, intraprocedural bleeding and polyp size ≥ 10 mm. Precautionary measures can reduce the risk of DPPB.
