Core Tip This study retrospectively used vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) to assess advanced fibrosis using liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in Chinese patients with histologically verified primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). To our knowledge, this study is currently the largest sample size among similar studies exploring VCTE for evaluating PBC fibrosis. Furthermore, this study provides a dual cut-off approach utilizing LSM through VCTE to categorize individuals with PBC into three categories of risk: Early-stage (LSM ≤ 10.0 kPa), advanced-stage (LSM > 14.5 kPa), and a grey area of inaccurate discrimination. This non-invasive method of individual risk stratification for PBC will aid in the selection of clinical decisions.
