Pathological staging was conducted based on the Scheuer and Nakanuma classifications, which were graded for liver fibrosis (fibrosis) and bile duct loss (BDL). BR was evaluated according to the Nara criteria, Paris II criteria, and Barcelona criteria. PBC complications included pruritus, esophageal varices, ascites, and jaundice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cumulative complication rates (CCRs) of the four patient groups (early disease\/responder [group A], early disease\/non\u2010responder [group B], advanced disease\/responder [group C], and advanced disease\/non\u2010responder [group D]) were estimated by combining the HS according to the Scheuer and Nakanuma classifications and BR based on three UDCA response criteria. The CCRs for the Scheuer classification\/Paris II criteria, Scheuer classification\/Barcelona criteria, Nakanuma classification\/Nara criteria, Nakanuma classification\/Paris II criteria, Nakanuma classification\/Barcelona criteria, fibrosis\/Barcelona criteria, and BDL\/Paris II criteria were significantly higher in group C than in group A. The CCRs for the Scheuer classification\/Nara criteria, Scheuer classification\/Barcelona criteria, Nakanuma classification\/Nara criteria, Nakanuma classification\/Barcelona criteria, fibrosis\/Nara criteria, fibrosis\/Paris II criteria, and fibrosis\/Barcelona criteria were significantly higher in group D than in group B.
