Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a debilitating chronic liver disease that progresses to cirrhosis with attendant complications in a substantial proportion of patients. It is a major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality in the United Kingdom (UK). The British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) published guidelines on PBC management, which included key audit standards. Therefore, we propose the first UK-wide audit of the management of PBC, sanctioned by the BSG and the British Association for Study of the Liver (BASL), to benchmark NHS trusts and health boards against these audit standards as a guide to targeted improvement in the delivery of PBC-related health care.
原发性胆汁性胆管炎（PBC）是一种使人衰弱的慢性肝病，在相当一部分患者中会进展为肝硬化并伴有相关并发症。它是英国肝脏相关发病和死亡的主要原因。英国胃肠病学会（BSG）发布了关于PBC管理的指南，其中包括关键的审核标准。因此，我们提议在英国胃肠病学会（BSG）和英国肝脏研究协会（BASL）的批准下，首次对英国范围内的PBC管理进行审核，以便将国民保健服务信托基金和健康委员会与这些审核标准进行对比，作为有针对性地改善PBC相关医疗服务的指导。
