Core Tip	Using a large administrative database, we were able to analyze the mortality and socioeconomic impact of Budd Chiari syndrome hospitalizations in the United States over a 19-year period with a high degree of granularity. We were able to show that while the mortality rate and length of stay has declined significantly, total charges continue to show an upward trend.
