Diagnostic performance of Baveno IV criteria in cirrhotic patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding: Analysis of the F7 liver-1288 study population

Revising consensus in portal hypertension: Report of the Baveno V consensus workshop on methodology of diagnosis and therapy in portal hypertension

“…In the minority of patients who have a naso-gastric tube in place, aspiration of greater than 100 ml of fresh blood represents failure, plus (b) Adjusted Blood Requirement Index (ABRI) P0.5 (The threshold of ABRI defining failure requires validation), or (c) Decrease 3 g of Hb if no transfusion is given. After Baveno IV, the diagnostic performance of the Baveno II-III and Baveno IV criteria was evaluated by analysing the population of a study of the use of recombinant factor VII in acute variceal bleeding [14]. The conclusions of the study were as follows: Baveno IV criteria have a rather high accuracy; ABRI in its current definition does not add to the accuracy of the other Baveno IV criteria; the best timing for measurement of hematocrit and the ideal cut off value of ABRI score should be further investigated.…”

Assessment of Bleeding Risk in Patients with Cirrhosis

“…Other causes of gastrointestinal bleeding including gastric vascular ectasia, Dieulafoy's lesion, esophagitis, erosive gastropathy, and Mallory-Weiss tears constitute infrequent causes [48][49][50][51][52][53]. In all of these, however, predicting bleeding in relation to hemostatic factors or other factors, for that matter, is at present unlikely.…”

Comparison of Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient and Two Models of End-stage Liver Disease for Predicting the Survival in Patients With Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis

“…Decompensated LC was diagnosed according to the current definition in the presence of ascites, portal hypertensive gastrointestinal bleeding, encephalopathy, or jaundice. 15 …”
