Quality Measures to Enhance the Management and Treatment of Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Delphi Consensus Study
This study establishes actionable quality measures for PBC care, offering specific recommendations on diagnostic protocols, therapeutic benchmarks, and follow-up standards. These measures go beyond guidelines by addressing gaps in patient stratification, follow-up protocols, and strategies. Future research should address cost-effectiveness, access to non-invasive tools, and implementation challenges such as clinician training and resource availability.
