Purpose: Malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) is common in patients with advanced malignant tumors, leading to poor prognosis and hindering antitumor therapy. The purpose of our study was to assess the survival outcomes for patients under therapy after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and identify prognostic factors associated with survival in patients with MBO. Methods: From July 2010 to February 2021, 269 patients with MBO secondary to malignant tumor were divided into two groups (functional success and non-functional success). Survival time and prognostic factors were analyzed by Kaplan–Meier curves and the Cox model. Results: The overall median survival time after PTBD was 4.6 months (95 % IC:3.9–5.3). The 3- and 6-month survival rates were 68.0 % and 38.7 %, respectively. The median survival improved from 3.2 months to 8.4 months when the procedure achieved functional success. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that functionally successful drainage and antitumor treatment after PTBD were independent positive prognostic factors, but the total bilirubin after drainage and tumor size were independent negative predictive values. Conclusions: Functionally successful drainage could prolong survival time in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Palliative care after drainage can prolong patient survival and improve their quality of life. |
