Core Tip	Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic progressive liver disease that destroys the intrahepatic small bile ducts. PBC in the middle and late stages cannot be ignored. The present study enrolled patients first diagnosed with PBC during hospitalization whose disease stages were primarily in the middle and late stages. We compared the prognostic value of various risk scores in PBC patients with advanced disease stages so that a significant proportion would undergo monitoring, disease evaluation, and timely treatment.
