Pathologists participating in the NIH-sponsored Biliary Atresia (BA) Research Consortium (BARC) developed and then evaluated a standardized system for histological reporting of liver biopsies from infants with cholestasis. A set of 97 anonymous liver biopsy samples was sent to 10 pathologists at BARC centers. A semi-quantitative scoring system that had 16 histologic features was developed and then used by the pathologists, who had no knowledge of clinical history, imaging results, or laboratory data. Inter-observer agreement was evaluated statistically. Agreement on scoring of each feature and on the pathologists’ diagnosis, compared with the final clinical diagnosis, were evaluated using weighted kappa statistics. There was moderate to substantial inter-observer agreement in identification of bile plugs in ducts, giant-cell transformation, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and bile duct proliferation. The pathologists’ diagnosis of obstruction in clinically proven cases of BA ranged from 79% to 98%, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 90.7%. Histological features that best predicted BA, based on logistic regression, included bile duct proliferation, portal fibrosis, and absence of sinusoidal fibrosis (each P<0.0001). The BARC histological assessment system identified features of liver biopsies from cholestatic infants, with good inter-observer agreement, that might be used in diagnosis and determination of prognosis. The system diagnosed BA with a high level of sensitivity and identified infants with biliary obstruction with reasonable inter-observer agreement. However, distinguishing between BA and disorders such as total parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is not possible without adequate clinical information.
