Doctors question routine antibiotics for liver bleeding prevention

NCT ID NCT06437964

Summary

This study aims to determine if antibiotics are necessary during endoscopic procedures to prevent re-bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis who have previously experienced variceal bleeding. Researchers are comparing outcomes between patients who receive preventive antibiotics and those who do not during these procedures. The goal is to understand if avoiding routine antibiotics reduces infection risks while still effectively preventing dangerous bleeding episodes.
