However, people with lifelong conditions often lack guidance to understand what aspects of care are most important and how their disease should be managed. This study aimed to create a question prompt list (QPL) for individuals with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) including key questions (directed) to their treating physician that are most likely to improve their outcome. Methods: International PBC professionals including patient representatives rated and ranked questions related to 9 aspects of PBC care. Questions rated by >70% as moderately/very important were considered best candidate questions (BCQs) for the QPL. Results of the survey were discussed during 2 in-person meetings, upon which the questions and/or QPL were amended. Results: Based on 108 respondents, 11 of 43 questions were considered BCQs. After 2 in-person meetings (64 attendees), the final QPL contained 8 questions and was unanimously approved by 19 members of the study team during the consensus meeting. The included questions referred to the risk of disease progression, presence of cirrhosis, need of second-line therapy, need of repeated liver stiffness measurements, bone health, and availability of patient information and support. Two BCQs addressing options to manage pruritus and fatigue were combined on the QPL. In addition, one question regarding first-line therapy was included despite being rated as moderately/very important by 68.5%. Conclusions: The PBC patient question prompt list serves as a user-facing document, to enhance the patient experience, and drive value-based healthcare in routine clinical practice.enCopyright © 2025 The Author(s).
