Baveno II (1995), Baveno III (2000), Baveno IV (2005), Baveno V (2010), Baveno VI (2015), and Baveno VII (2021)
Each shaping global practice

#BavenoVIII
Prof. Roberto de Franchis, Andrew Burroughs &
@jaumebosch9
launched a Consensus Workshop in Baveno ๐ฎ๐น on:
๐ Definitions
๐ Methodology
๐ Therapy
๐ฏBaveno I (1990) unified terminology, set evidence-based standards & shaped trial design
A turning point in hepatology
๐ณ๐ฑThe Groningen meeting reached a clear conclusion
โ No shared definitions of bleeding events
โ No standardized patient characterization
โ No uniform reporting of outcomes
The field needed structure
#BavenoVIII
Then came Prof. Andrew Burroughs ๐ฆธ
๐๏ธ September 3, 1986
๐ณ๐ฑ An informal pre-meeting before EASL in Groningen
๐ฏ Objective: discuss treatment of variceal hemorrhage
๐บ๏ธ24 international centers participated
#BavenoVIII
In the early 1980s, variceal hemorrhage management changed dramatically:
๐ NSBB
๐ Endoscopic sclerotherapy
But there was a problem โ comparing studies was nearly impossible:
๐ No standard definitions
๐ No uniform methodology
๐ฃ๏ธ No common language
#BavenoVIII
