We recently reported our experience searching for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who were lost in the health system. Our search of the databases of 4 hospitals, 3 of which were tertiary institutions, revealed that sufficient data were available to ensure a reliable diagnosis (cholestasis, positive antimitochondrial antibody titer, and no other liver disease) in 14.3% (100/697) of cases of PBC.
