: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported in Poetter-Lang S, Messner A, Bastati N et al (2023) Diagnosis of functional strictures in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis using hepatobiliary contrast-enhanced MRI: a proof-of-concept study. <i>Eur Radiol 33</i>(12):9022-9037. . In the above-mentioned previous study, this cohort was used to prove the efficacy of potential functional stricture (PFS) to diagnose dominant or functional stricture in patients with PSC using ERCP as the gold standard. In this current study, this cohort is used to compare between the Anali scores and PFS to predict the short-, and mid to long term outcome of PSC patients.
