Abstract
AIM: To analyze the changes in the age of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome in Henan Province, China between 1995 and 2009, and to analyze the possible etiological factors contributing to such changes.
METHODS: The clinical data for 909 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome treated at the Department of Interventional Radiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 1995 to 2009 were analyzed using the SPSS 13.0 statistical software.
RESULTS: The mean age of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome is 39.17 ± 11.40. An ascending trend was observed for the mean age of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome in Henan Province from 1995 to 2009 (P < 0.05). Patients aged 35-44 years accounted for 19.87% during 1995-1997, and 38.51% during 2007-2009. The percentage of patients aged 35-44 years showed an upward trend. In contrast, the percentage of patients aged 25-34 years showed a downward trend during this period. The percentages of other age groups of patients did not change greatly (all P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The age at diagnosis of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome shows an upward trend in Henan Province from 1995 to 2009.
