Simplified Scoring for AIH
Formula :
Composite score of listed variables. Points given for each variable.
Explanation of Result :
> 6 is consistent with definite diagnosis. 6 is consistent with probable diagnosis.
* Please verify all calculations prior to clinical use.

Abstract
Diagnostic criteria for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have been created and revised by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group (IAIHG). Simplified criteria have been created, but remain independently unvalidated. We report on the diagnostic accuracy of the simplified criteria in patients across a range of diagnoses, including a subset of patients presenting with fulminant liver failure who required liver transp [...]

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is already difficult, and that of acute-onset AIH with atypical features is even more challenging, even though the revised original diagnostic criteria created by an international AIH group were widely accepted and incorporated into clinical practice.
AIMS:
Recently, simplified diagnostic criteria were proposed. We compared the perfor [...]

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Criteria for the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) were formalized in 1993 and revised in 1999. Simplified criteria were developed in 2008 for adults only. We aimed to establish clinically useful diagnostic criteria for AIH in children by validating the 2008 criteria in a pediatric cohort.
METHODS:
Baseline data were available in 37 and 31 AIH and 40 and 26 non [...]
