Background: Our objective was to assess the diagnostic performance<br />

of serum fibrosis marker panels in patients with PSC.<br />

Methods: We calculated FibroTest, ELF, APRI, and FIB-4 and<br />

measured serum LOXL2 (sLOXL2) by immunoassay (VIDAS®<br />

LOXL2; bioMérieux, Marcy L’Etoile, France) in PSC patients<br />

enrolled in a phase 2b trial of simtuzumab. Liver fibrosis was<br />

staged according to the Ishak classification and their diagnostic<br />

performance for predicting bridging fibrosis (Ishak stages<br />

3-6 vs. 0-2) and cirrhosis (stages 5-6 vs. 0-4) was determined<br />

using AUROCs. Sensitivity analyses were conducted according<br />

to biopsy length (≥ vs.
