F OR TH E FUTURE The above criteria need validation in prospective studies. They need to be compared to Baveno II/III criteria and also to any independent judgement of steering committees in randomised therapeutic trials. The latter will be allocating treatment failures in cases of dispute, and verifying whether failure criteria were met. In addition, assessment of failures and successes independent of treatment allocation will allow an evaluation of whether failure criteria are sufficiently discriminatory to identify patients who have a poorer outcome following acute variceal bleeding.

Summary There are two kinds of criteria for failure of control of acute variceal bleeding, each of which is not mutually exclusive. • Non-transfusion or clinical; • Transfusion related. Clinical settings of failure: • Time dependent criterion defining time to failure suitable for trials and clinical practice; • Time fixed criterion at 120 h suitable for clinical practice. Each setting is not mutually exclusive, and in both the criteria for failure are the same. Both time dependent and time fixed criteria should be reported in future studies in PHT.
