One hundred and fifty-two of them had cirrhosis diagnosed by one or both methods. There was 73% agreement between the two procedures. `Apparent' false-negative results were 17·7% for peritoneoscopy and 9·3% for liver biopsy. The incidence of false-negative results in the diagnosis of cirrhosis can be reduced by combining both procedures.2 p.application/pdfeng(c) BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and British Society of Gastroenterology, 1974Cirrosi hepàticaLaparoscòpiaBiòpsiaHepatic cirrhosisLaparoscopyBiopsyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article22272info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess4279817
