Comparison of Outcomes From Sequential Endoscopic Therapy in 60 Patients With Cirrhosis and Esophagogastric Varices Treated at a Provincial and a Tertiary District Hospital.

Both groups achieved significant 12-month endoscopic improvements.

The red color sign (Rc+) prevalence decreased in group A (96.43% to 11.11%) and group B (93.10% to 34.78%).

Group B exhibited reduced mean variceal diameter (1.03 to 0.40 cm) and decreased ascites.

Despite differences in specific endoscopic approaches and patient follow-up adherence, the 12-month incidence of major complications was comparable between groups.
