Abstrakt: | Background & Aims: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is used for the diagnosis and follow-up of individuals with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The aim of our study is to develop an MRCP-score based on cholangiographic findings previously associated with outcomes and assess its reproducibility and prognostic value in PSC. Methods: The score (DiStrict score) was developed based on the extent and severity of cholangiographic changes of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts (range 0-8) on 3D-MRCP. In this retrospective, multicentre study, three pairs of radiologists with different levels of expertise from three tertiary centres applied the score independently. MRCP examinations of 220 consecutive individuals with PSC from a prospectively collected PSC-cohort, with median follow-up of 7.4 years, were reviewed. Inter-reader and intrareader agreements were assessed via intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). After consensus, the prognostic value of the score was assessed using Cox-regression and outcome-free survival rates were assessed via Kaplan-Meier estimates. Harrell's C-statistic was calculated. Results: Forty patients developed outcomes (liver transplantation or liver-related death). Inter-reader agreement between experienced radiologists was good (ICC 0.82; 95% CI 0.74-0.87, and ICC 0.81; 95% CI 0.70-0.87, respectively) and better than the agreement for the pair of experienced/less-experienced radiologists (ICC 0.48; 95% CI 0.05-0.72). Agreement between radiologists from the three centres was good (ICC 0.76; 95% CI 0.57-0.89). Intrareader agreement was good to excellent (ICC 0.85-0.93). Harrell's C was 0.78. Patients with a DiStrict score of 5-8 had 8.2-fold higher risk (hazard ratio 8.2; 95% CI 2.97-22.65) of developing outcomes, and significantly worse survival ( p <0.001), compared to those with a DiStrict score of 1-4. Conclusions: The novel DiStrict score is reproducible and strongly associated with outcomes, indicating its prognostic value for individuals with PSC in clinical practice. Impact and Implications: The diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is based on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). However, the role of MRCP in the prognostication of PSC is still unclear. We developed a novel, simple, and reproducible risk-score, based on MRCP findings, that showed a strong association with prognosis in individuals with PSC (DiStrict score). This score can be easily used in clinical practice and thus has the potential to be useful in clinical trials and in patient counselling and management.
