Reply to: “Correspondence on ‘Systematic review of response criteria and endpoints in autoimmune hepatitis by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group’”

The focus point of our systematic review was to define endpoint criteria to allow interstudy comparisons. We performed a systematic review using a Delphi method process to provide a straightforward framework to define treatment response and endpoints in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).1 Endpoints can be used as reference points and as a standard that helps systematically report study results. This allows for a better comparison of outcomes across studies and facilitates data aggregation into systematic reviews to more accurately assess treatment efficacy.
