Abstract
Results from this population-based study show good overall interobserver agreement between hepatopathologists and general pathologists when determining fibrosis stage in liver biopsy specimens from hepatitis C patients when liver biopsy sizes are adequate. However, community pathologists tended to understage fibrosis, which could keep patients from receiving proper treatment.
