Then, scores equal to 1 (compatible hepatitis), 2 (typical hepatitis), \u22646 (probable hepatitis), and \u22657 (definite hepatitis) were calculated based on the simplified histologic criteria, modified histologic criteria, and these two criteria, along with other indicators including antinuclear antibodies (Ab), smooth muscle Ab or liver-kidney microsomal Ab or soluble liver antigen (Ag) and serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and absence of viral hepatitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of this study revealed that based on the simplified histologic criteria, 43.8% and 56.3% of these cases were assigned a score of 1 and 2 points, respectively. However, calculating the total score using the simplified criteria along with other indicators showed that 60.4% and 39.6% of cases were assigned a score \u22646 and \u22657 points, respectively. Moreover, the modified histologic criteria indicated that 25% and 75% of cases were assigned a score of 1 and 2 points, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>According to the findings of the present study, the modified histologic criteria compared to the simplified histologic criteria identified a higher percentage of patients assigned a score of 2 points.
