#BavenoVIII
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
