Incidence, prevalence and complications of Budd–Chiari syndrome in South Korea: a nationwide, population‐based study
TLDR
This study aimed to elucidate the nationwide population‐based incidence, prevalence, complications, case fatalities and direct medical cost of Budd–Chiari syndrome in South Korea from 2009 to 2013.
Clinical features and etiology of Budd–Chiari syndrome in Chinese patients: A single‐center study
TLDR
The clinical features and etiology of patients with incident BCS in China prospectively vary from region to region, and there is lack of large sample studies about BCS.
Rotterdam score predicts early mortality in Budd‐Chiari syndrome, and surgical shunting prolongs transplant‐free survival
TLDR
This data indicates that among children born with Budd–Chiari syndrome, the likelihood of survival is low, but the chances of survival among those born with a second syndrome are high.
Review article: a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of Budd‐Chiari syndrome
Budd‐Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare but fatal disease caused by obstruction in the hepatic venous outflow tract.
Early radiological intervention and haematology screening is associated with excellent outcomes in Budd–Chiari syndrome
Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare and life‐threatening disorder, resulting from thrombosis of the hepatic veins. Various treatments, including pharmacological, radiological and surgical…
Pregnancy outcomes in women with Budd–Chiari syndrome or portal vein thrombosis – a multicentre retrospective cohort study

Review article: the aetiology of primary Budd–Chiari syndrome – differences between the West and China
TLDR
Considering the discrepancy in the clinical profiles and preferred treatment selection of primary BCS between the West and China, understanding its aetiology in these two different regions is very important.

Budd-Chiari Syndrome: The Western Perspective
Primary Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is defined as hepatic venous outflow obstruction from small hepatic veins to the inferior vena cava (IVC), due to thrombosis or fibrous stenosis of these veins. In…
Budd–Chiari Syndrome: East versus West
TLDR
Budd–Chiari syndrome is an uncommon cause of liver disease, which is being diagnosed more frequently with better diagnostic techniques especially in the East, and excellent responses to radiological interventional techniques like angioplasty and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt have resulted in excellent long-term survivals in both the East and the West.

Myeloproliferative disease in the pathogenesis and survival of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
TLDR
The etiology, diagnosis and natural course of myeloproliferative disease (MPD) in 40 consecutive patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and JAK2 mutation was present in 41% of the tested BCS patients.
Budd–Chiari syndrome: illustrated review of current management
TLDR
The current literature with respect to presentation, management and prognosis of BCS is reviewed, and particular attention is paid to interventional and surgical aspects of management.
Outcome of Budd‐Chiari syndrome: A multivariate analysis of factors related to survival including surgical portosystemic shunting
TLDR
Age, severity of liver failure, and presence of refractory ascites are the main prognostic factors in Budd‐Chiari syndrome, and surgical shunting should be restricted to management of refracted ascites or variceal bleeding in patients with otherwise good prognostic Factors.
Determinants of survival and the effect of portosystemic shunting in patients with Budd‐Chiari syndrome
TLDR
Patients with BCS can be classified into good (I), intermediate (II), and poor (III) prognostic classes, according to simple baseline clinical and laboratory parameters, and an improved survival after surgical portosystemic shunting is suggested.

TLDR
