Endoscopic injections of fibrin glue for the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer hemorrhage have been increasingly used instead of sclerosing agents since 1987. Sclerosants have the drawback that they themselves have tissue-destroying or rather ulcerogenic effects. A difficult form of administration and a relatively high price are set against the good biological properties of the fibrin glue. In a randomized study comparing fibrin glue with polidocanol there was a statistically significant lower rebleeding rate in the fibrin group. The data of this study were analysed with regard to economic aspects. They showed an improved cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness ratio of the fibrin glue compared with polidocanol.

D012008	Recurrence	The return of a sign, symptom, or disease after a remission.	Recrudescence,Relapse,Recrudescences,Recurrences,Relapses
D003362	Cost-Benefit Analysis	A method of comparing the cost of a program with its expected benefits in dollars (or other currency). The benefit-to-cost ratio is a measure of total return expected per unit of money spent. This analysis generally excludes consideration of factors that are not measured ultimately in economic terms. In contrast a cost effectiveness in general compares cost with qualitative outcomes.

D000077423	Polidocanol	An alkyl polyglycol ether of LAURYL ALCOHOL, chemically defined as an alcohol ethoxylate having an average alkyl chain of 12–14 carbon atoms, and an ethylene oxide chain of 9 ethylene oxide units. It is used as a detergent, and medically as a local anesthetic, and as a sclerosing agent for the treatment of ESOPHAGEAL AND GASTRIC VARICES and VARICOSE VEINS.

D015718	Fibrin Tissue Adhesive	An autologous or commercial tissue adhesive containing FIBRINOGEN and THROMBIN. The commercial product is a two component system from human plasma that contains more than fibrinogen and thrombin. The first component contains highly concentrated fibrinogen, FACTOR VIII, fibronectin, and traces of other plasma proteins. The second component contains thrombin, calcium chloride, and antifibrinolytic agents such as APROTININ. Mixing of the two components promotes BLOOD CLOTTING and the formation and cross-linking of fibrin. The tissue adhesive is used for tissue sealing, HEMOSTASIS, and WOUND HEALING.
