Histological subclassification of cirrhosis may allow for the definition of severe fibrosis stages with different clinical severity and prognosis. However, the value of histological staging is limited by intra- and interobserver variability. We therefore aimed to determine the relationship between morphometrically quantified fibrosis measured as collagen proportionate area …
