  1. *M-SEG (Modified SE criteria Germany) includes dominant stenosis, recurring cholangitis ≥ 2 septic ep. in 6 months and sarcopenia via L3-SMI with cut-offs at < 50 cm2/m2 (for males) & <39 cm2/m2 (for females) which replaces BMI reduction of > 10% in 12 months
  2. Abbreviations: M-SEG, Modified standard exception criteria Germany; SEG, standard exception criteria Germany for patients with PSC until 12th September 2023
